Aim to have new facility running before end of year
A new charity is aiming to raise money to purchase and run the hyperbaric chamber on the Island
The facility is used to treat divers with decompression sickness, as well as patients recovering from surgery or other injuries where a high dose of oxygen is beneficial.
However, the old chamber closed last June due to various problems and hasn't been open since.
The new charity, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Isle of Man - or HBOT IOM - has been formed by a group of supporters of hyperbaric medicine.
Vice-chairman of HBOT is former MHK John Houghton - he says the old equipment is now obsolete and the new charity is aiming to raise the funds to both purchase and run a new facility.
It's hoped the new chamber will be running before the end of the year.
