Learn how HBOT is used in clinical settings and where it may be available.
Important distinction: HBOT is an established medical therapy with FDA-recognized indications. The RxAir360 chamber is a separate medical device and has not yet received FDA 510(k) clearance. Fully functional chamber built. Testing passed. FDA 510(k) submission next. Device not yet cleared for sale or clinical use.
Think of your body like a city.
Your blood vessels are the roads, and oxygen is the supply truck.
Under normal conditions, those trucks stay on the highways.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy changes that — delivering oxygen beyond the main roads and into areas that weren't getting it before.
That's where healing starts.
Every cell in your body requires oxygen to heal, fight infection, and function optimally. However, chronic inflammation, injuries, and systemic diseases often create hypoxia—a state where your tissues simply cannot get enough oxygen from normal breathing.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) solves this at the cellular level. By breathing 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, your blood plasma becomes super-saturated with oxygen. This hyper-oxygenated plasma then travels deep into tissues, bones, and the brain, reaching areas that normal red blood cells cannot.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) delivers concentrated oxygen in a pressurized environment, allowing oxygen to dissolve directly into the bloodstream, plasma, and other body fluids. This unique process dramatically increases oxygen delivery to tissues that are injured, inflamed, or oxygen-deprived — enabling the body to accelerate its natural healing processes.
Under these enhanced conditions, oxygen reaches areas where normal circulation may be limited, stimulating new blood vessel growth, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body's immune response.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is supported by decades of clinical research and FDA-recognized indications. The information below describes HBOT as an established medical therapy — not the RxAir360 device, which has not yet received FDA 510(k) clearance and is not cleared for sale or clinical use.
HBOT has FDA-recognized indications for 14 conditions including diabetic wounds, radiation injury, crushed bones, burns, and more.
HBOT has been studied extensively since the 1940s with thousands of peer-reviewed publications demonstrating safety and efficacy.
Medicare, Medicaid, and major private insurers cover HBOT for FDA-recognized indications—supporting patient access.
HBOT is included in treatment guidelines from wound care societies, undersea medicine associations, and emergency protocols.
HBOT has a strong safety record when operated by trained professionals following established protocols and safety standards.
The RxAir360 chamber has passed EMC and Electrical Safety testing. FDA 510(k) submission is next. The device is not yet cleared for sale or clinical use.
