Buying a Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber in Sweden 2026: Complete Buying Guide

Are you considering investing in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber for your home or clinic? Here’s the information you need.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing oxygen under elevated atmospheric pressure in a specially built pressure chamber. The treatment increases the amount of oxygen dissolved directly in the blood plasma, thereby increasing oxygen delivery to the tissue.

Interest in HBOT has grown rapidly in recent years, particularly in biohacking, sports medicine, and longevity. In Sweden, the number of private individuals and clinics investing in their own chambers has increased since 2023. We do not report industry figures here that we cannot substantiate.

Scientific Evidence

The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) lists 14 approved indications for HBOT, and there are over 15,000 published studies on PubMed. The most studied applications are wound healing in diabetes, carbon monoxide poisoning, decompression sickness, radiation injuries, and chronic infections. Newer research is examining effects on traumatic brain injury, PTSD, aging, and athletic recovery. Wellness use is not covered by the approved indications.

Types of Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers

Soft Shell Chambers (Soft Chambers)

Soft chambers are inflatable units made of reinforced vinyl or fabric. They typically reach 1.3 to 1.5 ATA. The advantages are lower price (from approximately 40,000 to 120,000 SEK), portability, and easy installation. The disadvantages are limited pressure, shorter lifespan, and that they often lack CE marking as a medical device.

Hard Shell Chambers (Hard Chambers)

Hard chambers are built from steel, aluminum, or composite with acrylic windows, and reach 1.5 to 3.0 ATA. This is the clinical standard and the category on which the most studied treatment pressures are based. The price range is 200,000 SEK and up, depending on size and specification. Nordic Welltech supplies hard, CE-marked chambers in this category.

Monoplace vs. Multiplace

Monoplace chambers hold one person and are the most common choice for home use and smaller clinics. Multiplace chambers hold several people at once and are used in clinics and facilities with higher throughput.

Prices and Investment Level 2026

Prices for hyperbaric oxygen chambers vary greatly depending on type, pressure capacity, manufacturer, and equipment level. The table below is a rough market overview for orientation, not a price list. Our own models are quoted individually.

The prices refer to chambers with peripheral equipment. Delivery, installation, and training are quoted separately. The operating cost of a home chamber depends on how often it is used and your electricity price level. We calculate your actual operating cost in the quote instead of stating a flat estimate.

Key Specifications to Compare

When comparing hyperbaric oxygen chambers, you should focus on the following:

Pressure Capacity (ATA)

Pressure is measured in ATA (Atmosphere Absolute). Higher pressure provides more dissolved oxygen in the blood. 1.3 ATA is usually stated as the lowest therapeutic level, and 1.5 ATA is common in wellness settings. Our chambers operate up to 2.4 ATA. Verify that the stated pressure is the operating pressure and not the design pressure, and request the pressure test protocol for the individual vessel.

Syre-koncentration

Soft chambers compress ambient air or provide low oxygen concentration (24 to 35 percent). The hard chambers we supply use an oxygen concentrator with 90 to 93 percent purity at 1 to 20 liters per minute, via a BIBS mask.

Size and Dimensions

Verify that the chamber and peripheral equipment will fit. The manufacturer states a minimum installation area of 5500 × 2800 mm for Zeugma, 4400 × 3000 mm for Atlantis, and 6000 × 3500 mm for Mediterranean and Giza. Panorama has, in practice, the same external footprint as Zeugma, but the manufacturer does not publish a separate figure for that model.

Certifications

Require CE marking under the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC with a declaration of conformity, ASME PVHO for pressure vessels for human occupancy, the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, and ISO 13485 for the manufacturer’s quality management system. Verify that the CE certificate is issued by a notified body and not self-certified.

Home Use vs. Clinical Use

The choice between home and clinical use determines which type of chamber you need:

Hemmabruk

For home use, Zeugma Monoplace or Panorama are the relevant models. The advantages are unlimited access, no travel costs, and treatment on your own terms. Calculate the break-even point against clinic visits yourself, based on what you actually pay per session locally, and against how often you will use the chamber.

Kliniskt bruk

Clinics should consider the multiplace chambers Atlantis (2 seats), Mediterranean, or Giza (4 seats). They offer higher throughput per session, robust construction for frequent operation, and digital monitoring and logging systems.Read our complete guide to HBOT for clinics.

Suppliers in Scandinavia

There are several suppliers of hyperbaric oxygen chambers in Scandinavia. The information below is based on what each supplier states themselves and should be verified directly with them.

Safety Aspects and Certifications

Safety is crucial when purchasing a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Here’s what you need to check:

CE Marking

All medical devices sold in the EU must be CE-marked. The marking shows that the product meets the EU’s safety, health, and environmental requirements. Verify that the certificate is valid and issued by a notified body, not self-certified.

Fire Safety

Oxygen-rich environments require strict fire safety. Never use oil-based products, smoking materials, or heat sources in or near the chamber. The chambers we supply have built-in safety systems with automatic pressure relief, a safety valve, an emergency stop, and manual backup, and keep the surrounding oxygen level inside the chamber below 21 to 22 percent.

Medical Advice

Always consult a doctor before starting HBOT. Treatment is inappropriate or requires special assessment for, among others, untreated pneumothorax, an active ear infection, pregnancy, an implanted pacemaker, and pronounced claustrophobia. This list is not exhaustive.

ROI Calculations for Clinics

For clinics considering offering HBOT, return on investment is a central question. The calculation example below is based on assumptions about price, occupancy, and session revenue. It is a calculation example, not a quote and not a promised return.
