Gas Distributors Capitalize on Growing Use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Understanding more about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is key to helping distributors expand into this niche market.
Dewitt, NY - The use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) to treat various medical conditions is increasing. HBOT is being used in the treatment of chronic degenerative health problems such as atherosclerosis, stroke, diabetic ulcers, multiple sclerosis and even brain injuries. HBOT's largest growth has been in the area of wound care healing. Its potential use for the treatment of children with autism is also being studied. With its increasing demand, gas distributors have the opportunity to become a crucial part of this unique market.
In the current issue of Welding & Gases Today, the journal of the Gases and Welding Distributors Association (GAWDA), one industry member says the best way for gas distributors to capitalize on this expanding business is to understand more about what hyperbaric therapy is and how it works. Doug Morton, vice president of sales at Eleet Cryogenics, suggests getting more involved with the numerous hyperbaric-related medical associations and companies that manufacture the chambers may help distributors uncover opportunities for business. "As more treatments become candidates for HBOT, it is important for gas suppliers to stay close to these facilities so that you are the one who gets the phone call to provide the appropriate gas supply systems needed to operate these chambers," points out Morton. "Ask your local hospitals or wound care centers if they plan to incorporate HBOT and if they have evaluated the business, as it is an area that could certainly open up some opportunities."
Hospitals and healthcare providers aren't the only ones tapping into the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Its use is growing among sports trainers in the treatment of injuries sustained by professional athletes. Mild hyperbaric chambers can also be purchased or rented for use in the home.
