Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) delivers high concentrations of oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure to promote healing. It is used in human and veterinary medicine to treat various conditions. A mobile hyperbaric chamber company provides HBOT for animals to treat issues like wounds, infections, and hypoxia. HBOT increases tissue oxygen levels to accelerate the natural healing process in a painless way. It has various benefits including reducing swelling and stimulating blood vessel growth. Veterinary clinics are now using HBOT to successfully treat injured or ill pets.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which increases oxygen levels in the blood to promote healing. During treatment, patients breathe oxygen at pressures equivalent to depths of 40 feet underwater for 90 minutes. This greatly increases oxygen delivery to tissues, reducing bacteria and stimulating healing processes. It is used to treat conditions like diabetic wounds, radiation injuries, and gas embolism when standard care is not effective. Some potential side effects include ear and sinus pain but complications are rare with screening and safety protocols.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber at greater than atmospheric pressure. HBOT works by increasing the amount of oxygen that dissolves in the blood plasma, which allows more oxygen to reach tissues. The increased oxygen levels stimulate various cellular functions that promote healing. HBOT has been used to treat conditions like non-healing wounds, radiation injuries, burns, carbon monoxide poisoning, and decompression sickness. While research shows HBOT may help with some conditions, further high-quality studies are still needed to establish its effectiveness for other proposed uses.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Company Overview FULL NAME OF COMPANY: Hyperbaric Oxygen Services Limited (HODS) DATE OF INCORPORATION: 25 December 2006 AREA OF INDUSTRY: Accelerated healing of humans & animals using hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) NUMBER OF STAFF: 4. HEAD OFFICE:9 Humphreys Drive, Ferrymead, Christchurch with sites in Auckland, Tauranga and Nelson. MARKET CAP BASED ON LATEST THIRD PARTY TRANSACTION: NZD$2,362,251 (3,525,749 shares on issue at NZD$0.67c)
3. Company Overview The company has two existing wholly owned subsidiary businesses, O2 Health and O2 Vet. All equipment and intellectual property is owned by the parent company, HODS - the operating aspects of the business are handled by the subsidiaries. O2 Health/O2 Vet offers Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) treatments to humans and injured animals. HBOT is a proven and highly successful, non-invasive treatment method in which patients breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurised chamber. During treatment the blood plasma becomes saturated with oxygen which promotes a wide range of healing responses in the body. Human treatment centres are currently available in Mapua (Nelson). O2 Vet has three chambers deployed in Nelson, Tauranga and Auckland and is commercialising a innovative new computer-controlled chamber for volume production. The company has received media and industry coverage in New Zealand for successfully treating a number of high profile cases including patient recovery from long-term medical issues, accelerated healing for sports personalities, rehabilitating a wild albatross with a broken wing , accelerating healing for rare birds such as a Takahe and a little blue penguin.
4. Company Overview EDGE: O2 Vet has developed a unique new veterinary hyperbaric chamber that is relatively light weight, portable and highly user friendly featuring fully computer controlled operation. Existing technology is cumbersome to use and requires specialist installation and oxygen supply. O2 Vet’s new chamber meets a large and growing demand for specialised treatment for animals that is backed up by strong research and empirical data. USP: A unique profit generation and service differentiation opportunity for vets from an extraordinary proven healing treatment that uses technology to reduce labour costs and maintain high profit margins for users. The company plans an IPO or trade sale to a medical devices company within three years.
5. Hyperbarics in the news BBC News (UK): 9th Jan 2004 “England football captain David Beckham received treatment at a hyperbaric oxygen chamber before the last World Cup when he broke his foot...” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/3384551.stm NZPA News: 9th Feb 2010 “...New Zealand All Black Ali Williams is using a hyperbaric chamber to help with his ruptured ankle injury...” http://www.aliwilliams.co.nz/index.php
7. What is hyperbaric technology? Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a proven and highly successful, non-invasive treatment method in which patients breathe pure oxygen inside a pressurised chamber. During treatment the blood plasma and tissues becomes saturated with oxygen which promotes a wide range of healing responses in the body. The benefits of HBOT are internationally recognised by the medical and veterinary community, as well as elite athletes and the military. The efficacy of HBOT is validated in New Zealand through its acceptance by the ACC, District Health Boards, and various insurance companies.

68. Existing technology - “pressure cooker”! Historically, the equipment currently available has been adapted from recompression chambers more commonly seen in the worldwide diving industry and unfortunately has the appearance to match i.e. large, cumbersome, expensive and very heavy “old school” steel containers which require highly trained personnel to operate. Copyright 2005: IHTC
69. O2 Vet: Designing the future! O2 Vet has developed and commercialised new, state-of-the-art hyperbaric treatment chambers for use in veterinary clinics. These are small, compact, user friendly and fully computer controlled enabling operation by veterinary staff with minimal initial training. Initially available across New Zealand, the company will realise the large export potential across countries worldwide including USA, Asia, and Europe etc. Rollout of the technology will lead to a highly profitable, multi-faceted NZ based export business by establishing a major international market in the veterinary sector and accessing previously untapped demand for specialist human chambers.
75. Self generating oxygen gas supply systemBringing hyperbarics into the “IPod age”…
76. Partnership with VSG A key partner for the business is the Veterinary Specialist Group in Auckland (VSG). VSG are the largest specialist vet in NZ and have been so encouraged by the improved outcomes from using HBOT that they have published a research paper and are speaking to many other vets about the project. This has led to patient referrals, validation of the opportunity and creation of demand for hyperbaric chambers from other practices around the country. HODS continually aggregates all clinical data from the users of its products, which is creating a proprietary and highly valuable pool of knowledge accelerating further R&D and refinement of treatment protocols, which can then be provided to existing users via a software update. This will lock clients into a compelling value network in which their use improves the products’ effectiveness.
