About Thrive

We run a hyperbaric clinic on these chambers

Thrive is the official HPO.TECH worldwide specialist, founded and run from a working hyperbaric clinic in Bath. What you get is a team that uses these chambers every day.

How it started

How David ended up in hyperbarics

When David Gumbleton's father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, conventional medicine offered little beyond managing the symptoms. David went looking for anything that might help, and the search led him to hyperbaric oxygen - then deep into the research behind it, to understand it properly. He went on to certify with the International Board of Undersea Medicine.

What he found convinced him it was worth doing properly. He opened Thrive Bath, one of the UK's first dedicated hyperbaric clinics, and has run chambers there every day since, working alongside an elite sports team, Bath Rugby. When he came across HPO.TECH, the chambers were finally built to the standard the clinic demanded. Thrive Hyperbaric grew from there.

David went through the full range of hyperbaric chambers. Only HPO.TECH met the standard.
The manufacturer

Built by HPO.TECH in Istanbul

The chambers are engineered and built by HPO.TECH at their own facility in Istanbul - every unit made in-house, under their own quality control and protected by their own patents.

They are built to the standards that apply to pressure vessels with people inside them: CE marking and ISO 13485 medical-device quality, PED pressure-equipment certification, ASME PVHO for vessels that hold people under pressure, and independent inspection by Türk Loydu before each unit leaves the factory.

HPO.TECH also supply hospitals, and hold medical-device approval for their chambers across a range of countries - among them the EU, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.

We work hand in hand with HPO.TECH on every project - specification, customisation, installation and training - so you get the manufacturer's engineering and the manufacturer's price, with a specialist team managing the detail around it.

Why buy through Thrive

What we add that a catalogue cannot

Most hyperbaric chambers are sold by resellers working from a catalogue. We work the other way round, which changes what owning one is like.

01 · We run one

Advice from running one

Our clinic runs these every day, so you are asking someone who lives with one rather than a sales desk reading a brochure.

  • Specification advice from daily operators
  • Honest guidance on model, pressure and fit
  • Sit in a working chamber at our Bath clinic
02 · We handle all of it

The whole project managed

From the first drawing to the day it runs, we manage everything that gets a chamber in and working.

  • Installation planning, shipping and customs
  • Regulatory guidance through to handover
  • Customisation, finishes and 3D room drawings
  • Operator training from David, certified by the International Board of Undersea Medicine
  • A protocol framework to run it
03 · Direct to the factory

One relationship, from Bath to Istanbul

You deal with us, and we deal with the factory. Specification changes, build questions and servicing go straight to the people who built the chamber rather than down a chain of distributors.

  • Build changes handled during manufacture, not after
  • Direct liaison with HPO.TECH in Istanbul on your behalf
  • English-speaking support across time zones

You can sit in one before you buy

HPO.TECH chambers are installed and running all over the world - most of them in the US, where we work with install and servicing teams run from Detroit, Michigan - so there's very likely one you can visit near you. Tell us where you are and we'll arrange it.

Or come to Bath: our own clinic in Bath runs these chambers every day, and you're welcome to experience a full session yourself - in normal working use.
