OUR HISTORY
While the Merida Hyperbaric Chamber is capable of treating a wide range of hyperbaric injuries, our primary patient base is the resident population of the State of Yucatan. We provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for illnesses such as diabetes, gangrene, burn victims, wound healing, and other illnesses known to respond to HBO Treatment.

We also treat injured divers and support our local recreational scuba diving community and dive operators to help provide safe diving practices and emergency care in the case of an accident.

Chamber Tours

If you are visiting Merida and would like to tour our facility, you are more than welcome! Chamber tours are free, but we do ask that you contact us during normal business hours by phone to arrange an appropriate time to ensure there is no interference with any patient treatments being conducted.

CIVIC/ARCHAEOLOGICAL SUPPORT

The Merida Chamber has strong ties with the Civic RescueTteams, such as the Fire Brigade and Police Divers. It is worth noting that there is an important, albeit very sporadic and remote diving by archaeological teams in the central Yucatan’s lost cities of the Maya’s sinkholes. We treat these cases as well.

OUR CHAMBER & EQUIPMENT

The SSS Network / Merida Hyperbaric Chamber has two hyperbaric chambers. The first is a large, 13 ft. long, 53" diameter Recompression Chamber and the second is a 54” Muli-lock, Multi-place unit that is rated to 165 feet or 50 meters. Both are equipped to accommodate at least one patient plus an inside attendant, who accompanies the patients for the duration of the treatment.

The patient and tender inside the chamber are monitored visually and by video camera. Our chamber is also equipped with High and Low Pressure "Air Banks" to supply the chamber.
