Fink Engineering, based in Queensland, Australia, combines an innovative design approach with state-of-the-art engineering and
fabrication facilities to redefine the form and function of medical hyperbaric chambers. In a treatment center incorporating a
Fink chamber the hyperbaric environment is very much like any other modern medical room.
Patients and clinical staff enjoy easy access to the chamber through rectangular doorways that accommodate wheelchairs and trolleys.
The finish of the chamber is the same as elsewhere in the hospital and can accommodate a variety of furnishings for the comfort and
care of seated and prone patients.
For patients with claustrophobia issues the rectangular Fink chamber can significantly reduce the sense of confinement. For the
hospital, Fink chambers occupy 20% less space than comparable cylindrical chambers and accommodate a wide variety of patient
monitoring and care equipment.

Safety Features
Oxygen is supplied to the patient via a hood or mask while they are pressurized in an air environment, making the hyperbaric oxygen
treatment very safe.
Fire suppression is provided by an advanced water deluge system designed in accordance with the NFPA 99 standard. The spray nozzles
cover all parts of the floor area.
Fink chambers are controlled using a state-of-the-art computer control system and electronic valves.
Patient Comfort
Hyperbaric chambers built by Fink Engineering can include a number patient comfort features including natural lighting,
climate control, entertainment systems, and lavatory facilities.
