Hyperbaric chamber arrives from Germany

A new "state of the art" hyperbaric chamber has arrived on the Isle of Man.

The oxygen therapy unit, which is thought to cost in the region of £400,000, will replace two chambers which became obsolete in 2018.

Hyperbaric chambers can be used to treat a number of conditions such as decompression sickness and serious infections.

The new chamber, which was ordered last year, has been imported from Germany.

A spokesman from the Hyperbaric Chamber Charity said it's a "monumentous" step but there's a lot of work to get it ready for public use.

The charity has ramped up its appeal for more funding and hopes to re-open the service next year.
