Question 7

What should I wear for my HBOT treatment?

Accepted Answer

For your HBOT treatment, we provide 100% cotton clothing to ensure your comfort and safety. Synthetic fabrics can create static electricity, posing a safety risk in the oxygen-rich environment of the hyperbaric chamber. Please avoid lotions, oils, perfumes, or makeup, as these can hinder the therapy's effectiveness. Remove any jewelry or accessories before entering the chamber. Our team will guide you to ensure you're fully prepared for a safe and comfortable experience. A safety checklist will be reviewed with you on your first visit and before each treatment. Personal items are prohibited inside the chamber. For any questions, contact us at 859-420-6362.

Question 8

How does HBOT at ROC differ from inflatable chambers?

Accepted Answer

At ROC, our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is conducted in medical-grade, high-pressure chambers, offering significant advantages over inflatable chambers. Our chambers deliver 100% pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressures, enhancing the body's natural healing processes by allowing oxygen to dissolve more effectively in the blood plasma. This ensures better reach to areas with limited blood flow. Inflatable chambers use ambient air and operate at much lower pressures, making them less effective. Our high-pressure chambers are more effective for treating chronic wounds, radiation injuries, and decompression sickness. Treatments are supervised by trained professionals, ensuring safety and optimal outcomes. We accept most insurances, making advanced healing therapy accessible. Contact us at 859-420-6362 for more details.
