Bluegrass joins an expanding network of veterinary facilities and universities across the United States and the UK that are now equipped with a Hyperbaric Veterinary Medicine (HVM) chamber, locations can be found at www.hvmed.com. Unlike used human, small acrylic and inflatable chambers, these HVM chambers are engineered for the maximum safety of animals by featuring:
- Solid Steel and borosilicate glass construction eliminates the possibility of rupture from small cracks by way of animal scratching that can occur in acrylic chambers.
- HVM chambers are able to reach and go beyond the crucial threshold of 1.5 Atmospheres (ATM) needed to regrow bone and tissue, unlike inflatable or mild hyperbaric chambers that can only reach a maximum of 1.3 ATM, which can actually increase the growth of undesirable aerobic bacteria.
- HVM chambers do not have a predetermined life cycle, unlike human chambers which need a complete overhaul approx. every 10 years.
