Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Equipment Cost, Explained

Most HBOT quotations are not comparable, because they cover different scopes. This guide sets out every line item that belongs in a hyperbaric oxygen therapy equipment cost so you can put two proposals side by side.

Written for clinics, hospitals and recovery centres buying in India.

A chamber-only price against a fully-scoped installed price is not a like-for-like comparison. Ask every supplier to quote the nine lines above explicitly, marking anything excluded.

What actually moves the price

  • Occupancy. Monoplace to multiplace is the single largest step in cost. See monoplace and multiplace models.
  • Working pressure. A 3 ATA rated vessel costs more to build and certify than a 2 ATA one.
  • Shell construction. Hard shell aerospace aluminium against soft shell fabric is a different class of product with a different service life.
  • Oxygen source. Concentrators carry a lower capital cost and a higher electrical load; a cylinder manifold reverses that.
  • Site condition. An existing three-phase supply and a ground-floor room with a wide door can remove a significant slice of the installation line.

The number most buyers forget

Capital cost is quoted; operating cost is discovered. For HBOT the recurring items are electricity for the compressor and concentrator, filter and sieve-bed consumables, scheduled pressure vessel inspection, and an annual service visit. Budget for them from day one and your business case will survive year two.

If you are modelling a full facility rather than a single chamber, the cost to set up an HBOT centre in India is covered end to end on Build Your Centre.
