What Is a Monoplace Hyperbaric Chamber?
A monoplace hyperbaric chamber is a single person pressure vessel used for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The user sits inside while breathing oxygen through a mask at a pressure above normal atmospheric pressure. Our wellness chambers work at 2.0 ATA with a maximum of 2.4 ATA. Monoplace units suit clinics, wellness centres and private buyers because of their compact footprint and simple operation.
Nordic Welltech supplies rigid, CE marked chambers built as pressure vessels, not soft inflatable bags. They are certified as medical devices under the Medical Device Directive 93 42 EEC, with ASME PVHO and PED documentation, and are built in modules that pass through a standard doorway.
Our Monoplace Chamber Range
Zeugma, single seat monoplace
Zeugma is our single seat chamber, rated for one person up to 225 kg. The hull measures 1988 by 1368 by 1858 mm with an internal length of 1620 mm and an internal volume of 1.9 cubic metres, and it weighs 750 kg. The 2.0 ATA version is built in aerospace aluminium, the 2.4 ATA version in steel, and the chamber is pressure tested to 3.5 ATA. It ships as three modules that pass through a standard doorway. Minimum floor area is 5500 by 2800 mm. Air supply is 250 LPM, ventilation is adjustable from 125 to 400 LPM, and emergency depressurisation from 2.0 to 1.0 ATA takes 90 seconds.
Panorama, two seats
Panorama takes two seats in practically the same outer footprint as Zeugma, at 1987 by 1344 by 1858 mm and 750 kg, with an internal volume of 1.9 cubic metres. The hull is ballistic steel with six acrylic panoramic windows, which is the main difference in how a session feels from the inside. Working pressure is 2.0 to 2.4 ATA, or 29.4 to 34.8 PSI. Oxygen is supplied at 93 percent purity from 1 to 20 LPM, the interior climate is held between 5 and 40 degrees C to within 0.1 degree, and noise stays at or below 72 dB. Control is by touchscreen with seven preset protocols, secure user profiles, USB data logging and manual backup. Plan the same room as for Zeugma.
Apex, single person altitude chamber
Apex is worth knowing about but it is not HBOT. It is a hypobaric chamber that lowers pressure rather than raising it, down to 0.356 ATM, which simulates an altitude of 8000 metres for altitude training and acclimatisation. It takes one person, is built in 5000 series aluminium, measures 2136 by 1166 by 1587 mm, weighs 600 kg and has an internal volume of 0.9 cubic metres. Minimum floor area is 5500 by 2800 mm. A 4 HP vacuum pump moving 600 LPM at 46 dB drives it, and the chamber monitors heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, blood oxygen saturation and temperature. If you are looking at altitude training rather than oxygen therapy, this is the relevant product.
Who Uses Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers?
Monoplace HBOT chambers serve a wide range of professional and personal applications. Wellness clinics and spas use them to offer recovery and longevity treatments. Physiotherapy and sports medicine practices integrate HBOT for accelerated injury recovery. Private individuals invest in monoplace chambers for home-based health optimization, anti-aging protocols, and chronic condition management.
The lower investment cost compared to multiplace systems, combined with simple one-button operation, makes monoplace chambers the most accessible entry point for businesses and individuals exploring hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Key Features Across All Monoplace Models
Common to every model: touchscreen control with preset protocols and manual backup, oxygen delivered through BIBS masks so chamber ambient oxygen stays at or below 21 percent, a pressure relief valve and integrated emergency stop, emergency depressurisation from 2.0 to 1.0 ATA in 90 seconds, intercom to the outside, regulated interior climate, and an on site oxygen concentrator so you never buy gas in cylinders. Exterior colour, interior leather and branding are configurable.
