The cost of a portable Hyperbaric Chamber is determined by various factors such as size, shape, insulation, type of filling material used in the mixing chamber, and portability. The chamber's temperature control ability is affected by various factors including the fill material used and the viscosity or thickness of the material. This means that a chamber can be more expensive to buy if it has higher quality fill material, but it may also be cheaper to buy the cheapest type of filling material available, but provide poor quality treatment because it is less dense. The cost of a portable Hyperbaric Chamber depends on various other factors, as well.
One factor that will affect the cost of a portable Hyperbaric Chamber is the technology used in the chamber. Different types of chamber technology will influence the cost. There are three types of chamber technology - the electrically conductive type of technology, the ultrasonic type of chamber technology, and the mixed media technology. The cost of a portable Hyperbaric Chamber depends upon the type of technology involved. The Ultrasonic chamber is the most effective, but it is also the most costly. Due to its nature, an ultrasonic chamber can only be used in applications where high pressures are required.
A third type of chamber, the vitaeris 320 hyperbaric chamber, can also be used in the office to provide vitaeris-like therapeutic effects at a fraction of the cost of a traditional chamber. The vitaeris 320 hyperbaric chamber provides a similar amount of therapeutic effects as a traditional pressurized bath or nasal spray. In fact, it costs half as much as either of these other technologies when measured per pound of body weight.
The vitaeris-type chamber is designed for use at home, in the comfort of a home office, or for use in a dentist's office. Unlike the traditional hyperbaric pressurized systems, which must be stored under pressure for the entire duration of the treatment, the vitaeris-type is stored at room temperature and pressures can be manipulated throughout the time it is in use. This feature saves both money and time and allows the user to complete his or her treatments more times than with the other two types of pressurized equipment. Because it is portable, it can be taken to the doctor's office and returned after the patient is done with the session. This is a big advantage in many instances.
Some of the portable hyperbaric chambers come equipped with different pumping systems. The two most common are the open and closed pumps. The closed system uses an oxygen tank, storage tank, and a pump that forces pressurized air through the tubing that was attached to the chamber's walls. The open pump pumps use gravity to force the pressurized air through the tubing, which is connected to the chamber walls.
Some hyperbarics are designed with added features for use at home. Oxygen therapy is popular at home because of the added convenience and cost. In home hyperbaric applications can be used for relieving stress, decompression sickness, asthma, allergies, and as a relief for colds and congestion. These portable hyperbaric chamber systems are made for use in the home because of their compact size and affordability.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been proven to reduce the effects of tissue damage from injury and illness. It is commonly used for recovering athletes who experience chronic injuries or illness. Hyperbaric treatment has also shown promise in alleviating pain associated with some diseases such as arthritis, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. People who suffer from stroke or heart disease have also found the hyperbarium to be very effective in reducing the symptoms and recuperation time after trauma.
Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy has many benefits, potential complications should be considered including carbon monoxide poisoning. In this case, individuals should not breathe the gas into their lungs because it can cause partial lung failure. Individuals also need to consider whether they are able to handle the increased level of oxygen in the chamber. Portable chambers can be compactly stored when not in use, but must be returned to the chamber after the chamber is reconfigured.
