All hard-shell chambers are ASME – PVHO 9 certified and are manufactured in the UK, distinguishing the technology within the current market. The 2.1m by 1.9m hard shell chamber uses oxygen as a form of therapy, by exposing patients to >90% oxygen and increased atmospheric pressure, accessible chambers are also available for those who require wheelchair access or have mobility issues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows more oxygen to be dissolved into the bloodstream, helping to speed up the healing and regeneration process of damaged or injured tissues. Since the company’s formation, it has supported clients across the injury, sports, health, and well-being sectors.

At O2 Worx, our mission is fuelled by our commitment to producing high-quality hyperbaric chambers that can help people achieve optimal health and swift recoveries. Providing a full suite of services and a product which is designed and manufactured in the UK, we aim to revolutionise the way people think about healthcare and alternative therapies, promoting the use of oxygen therapy as a safe and highly effective treatment option.”
