Pressure Tech Hyperbarics: Oxygen Therapy Reaching Greater Prominence

NEW YORK, NY, September 04, 2012 (Press-News.org) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was originally devised as a way to treat "the bends," a common affliction among deep-sea divers. Despite its efficacy in treating this particular ailment, however, hyperbaric medicine was initially met with skepticism from the wider medical community, which questioned how useful oxygen treatments might be for treating other conditions. As time has passed and further research has been conducted, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has reached greater and greater acceptance--something a recent medical report makes clear. This report has won the attention of Pressure Tech Hyperbarics, a leading manufacturer of the hyperbaric chambers used to provide hyperbaric therapy.

The new report notes that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has "largely outgrown early skepticism and is spreading as [a treatment] option for various medical conditions." The article goes on to explain the basic mechanics of hyperbaric oxygen therapy; essentially, the patient is placed into a special chamber, where pressure levels are elevated. While sitting or reclining in this pressurized chamber, the patient breathes 100 percent, pure oxygen.

The article observes that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is now used to treat more than a dozen medical conditions and complications. In particular, medical professionals are coming to regard oxygen treatments as effective methods of treating major wounds that otherwise refuse to heal.

The report has won the attention, and the praise, of Pressure Tech Hyperbarics. Pressure Tech is a company that manufactures and distributes hyperbaric chambers, both internationally and in America. The company is also committed to furthering the acceptance of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a respected medical and scientific practice. Pressure Tech Hyperbarics has responded to the new report with a statement to the press.

In the company's press statement, Pressure Tech highlights the important leaps forward that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has made--and continues to make. "While the history of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is mired with lofty promises by some, it is clear that one of the most exciting areas of medical research today can be found incorporating hyperbarics," says the company's statement. "By pairing an increase in hyperbaric oxygen therapy research with our increasing understanding of some of the mechanisms associated with certain chronic conditions, we will soon find a need for greater access to hyperbaric chambers."

The company is resolute in seeing hyperbaric oxygen furthered as a viable medical option; additionally, the company is zealous for continuing to provide hyperbaric technology. "Pressure Tech has been investing time and resources to satisfy this need," the company's statement concludes.
