(From My Inbox Today...)
There are not many opportunities available to see recommpression chambers delivered and/or installed in your life time. It's unique... Today, we had an opportunity to capture that moment. Exclusively by Groupers with a huge support of LST - Life Support Technologies, leading company in clinical hyperbaric technology and medicine.
The invitation came from Glenn J. Butler, the President & CEO of Life Support Technologies Group (and also the Diver of the Year in Science category at Beneath the Sea 2007) that there would be 3 mono-place hyperbaric chambers delivered and installed at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, NY. These 3 units delivered today will be used for Chronic Wound Care for patients with diabetes etc. Most interesting of all, these are designed and engineered by Glenn!
Features of this newest and greatest include on-board Sirius Satellite Radio, Flat Screen TV, EKG, etc. and a specifically designed stretcher (also designed and engineered by Glenn) has a bed that slides into this mono-place chamber. The bed is made of Tempur-Pedic-like material (also designed by Glenn) to keep patient's comfort. Each mono-place chamber has 1-inch transparent acrylics around so that a patient is aware of his/her treatment as well as able to watch TV during a treatment.
There are 2 panels in the room - each accommodate 2 mono-place chambers with special monitors that display the information of the treatment for a patient. Each monitor is connected to an individual chamber and displays the same information on a panel monitor. The room is designed so that Chamber Technicians are able to monitor 2 patients at a time if necessary, and of course, handicapped friendly.
According to Glenn, it usually takes 1-2 years to complete this type of project. But this was special day for him - the chamber that he himself designed and engineered was delivered nicely and safely, and Groupers got the first glimpse of it!
He offered Groupers members a Chamber Tour in near future at the end of the evening.
Groupers would like to thank Glenn for his generosity and congratulate him on the special delivery of his chambers.
