Buying a hyperbaric chamber in 2026: what to look for

A hyperbaric chamber is an investment for years. Asking the right questions up front leads to a chamber that suits your users, your space and the way you work. These are the points that make the difference in practice. You will find every model side by side among our hyperbaric chambers.

1. Who will use it, and how often?

Start with the use, not the model. A chamber at home asks for something different from a chamber in a practice, or in a recovery centre running trainings from early morning to evening.

• At home: comfort, quiet operation and a chamber that fits through the door.
• Practice or studio: simple operation, quick changeovers between users and a fixed place in the schedule.
• Centre or sports club: capacity, intensive daily use and possibly two people per training.

The configurator turns your situation into a tailored proposal in six questions.

2. Hard-shell or soft chamber?

A hard-shell chamber is made of steel and runs at 1.5 or 2.0 ATA. You breathe oxygen through a mask or BIBS system. It is built for intensive daily use.

A soft chamber runs at 1.4 or 1.5 ATA and is lighter and easier to place. The Boost Seat 90 weighs 15 kg and is in stock.

3. Space, doorway and floor

Measure the room and the route in before you choose. Some dimensions from our collection:

• The NAVY (185 × 85 cm) passes 785 mm doorways and needs no assembly on site.
• The ULTRA (185 × 122 cm) passes doorways from 90 cm and can also be installed upstairs.
• The DUO for two people measures 223 × 190 cm.
• With hard-shell chambers, allow about one metre of free space at the entrance plus room for the peripherals.

The room planner shows straight away which chamber fits your space.

4. Power

Soft chambers run on an ordinary wall socket. The NAVY uses 220 V (chamber 350 W and operating unit 1,800 W). Larger hard-shell chambers need more power; the DUO draws about 6.4 kW in total and dedicated circuits are advisable. We check the connection before anything is ordered.

5. Installation, training and service

A chamber is only ready when it is placed correctly, operated safely and keeps running. So ask not only about the chamber but about everything around it:

• delivery and installation on site;
• instruction for you and your team;
• service and maintenance, and who you call when something comes up;
• warranty: with OxyBoost up to 3 years, set per system in the quotation.

Anyone can supply equipment. The difference is everything around it.

6. Certification and documentation

Ask which certification a chamber carries and whether you receive the documentation. Our certification page explains what we supply per system. Where medical certification is required, we offer chambers from our medical collection.

7. Buy, rent or lease

Buying is not the only route. You can also rent (from three months), lease, or rent with a purchase option. If you switch to buying within twelve months, part of the rent already paid counts towards the purchase price. Read more on buy, rent or lease and in Renting a hyperbaric chamber: how it works.
