ABSTRACT:
A hyperbaric oxygen device and methods of applying hyperbaric oxygen are disclosed. The device comprises an enclosure including a collapsible bag defined by two sheets of fluid impervious material sealed together at both ends such that gas can be delivered between the sheets to inflate the enclosure to a rigid state and maintain the enclosure in the rigid state when oxygen pressure in the interior of the enclosure is cycled between ambient pressure and above ambient pressure.
