HPO.Tech's new Oyster, a single-seat hyperbaric chamber / HPO.Tech
A new monoplace chamber that departs from the cylindrical pressure-vessel tradition, replacing it with an oval geometry, an upward-opening acrylic canopy, and an automatic reclining chair that adapts to seated or fully reclined use.
HPO.Tech has introduced Oyster, a single-seat hyperbaric chamber built around a structural and visual break from the cylindrical vessels that have defined the category for more than a century. The system pairs HPO.Tech's medical-grade hyperbaric platform with an entirely new chassis: an oval, organic form sealed by a full acrylic dome that lifts upward to open the chamber.
Inside, an automatic reclining chair moves between an upright seated position and a fully reclined one, allowing the user to settle into whichever posture suits the session.
"Most hyperbaric chambers are still cylindrical steel structures. With Oyster, we set that history aside. The acrylic dome is the most visible expression of that thinking, but the entire architecture follows from it." said Tolga Kabak, CTO and co-founder of HPO.Tech.
Oyster operates at 2.4 ATA on the technical platform HPO.Tech has refined across its existing range. Oxygen is delivered through the company's Built-In Breathing System (BIBS), with chamber management handled through an integrated touchscreen console. An optional in-chamber entertainment screen sits alongside the control and monitoring panels, available for operators who want to offer it as part of the session experience.
Operators can specify exterior colour, interior leather selection and logo integration, with additional freedom on the lower hull given the new geometry.
"Oyster is positioned for operators who treat the chamber as part of the space, not as equipment to be tucked into a back room," said Alexandru Harbuzaru, chief business development officer at HPO.Tech.
Founded in 2020 in Istanbul, HPO.Tech (www.hpotech.com) designs and builds hyperbaric and multibaric chamber systems for research, clinical, wellness and high-performance applications. The company is among the most certified manufacturers in the field, holding CE, MDR, UKCA, ASME PVHO, ASME U-Stamp, PED and ISO 13485 clearances across major international markets.
