Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is becoming increasingly popular for home health, sports recovery, wellness centers, and clinical settings. When choosing a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, one common question arises: Should I choose a soft or hard shell chamber? In this article, we compare both options through the lens of Oxyair, a leading hyperbaric chamber manufacturer.
A hyperbaric oxygen chamber is a sealed unit where users inhale high-purity oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure. This process enhances oxygen delivery to tissues, accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and improves overall wellness.
Hyperbaric chambers are typically classified into two types based on structure:
Soft-shell hyperbaric chambers
Hard-shell hyperbaric chambers
