"Designing square pegs for square holes"

Fink Engineering based in Melbourne, Australia combine an innovative design approach with state-of-the-art engineering and fabrication facilities to redefine the form and function of medical hyperbaric chambers.

Fink facilities have transformed the way in which hyperbaric medicine is practised. Hospitals have previously used cylindrical hyperbaric chambers similar to the recompression chambers used for divers, whereas a Fink facility is for all intents and purposes like any other modern medical room.

Extensive use of electronic valving allows the use of a compact panel using state-of-the-art computer technology. Doors are pneumatically controlled at the push of a button. Round hatches are replaced by standard-sized sliding doors with automatic trough covers so that wheelchairs and trolleys can be rolled easily inside the square sided hyperbaric chamber facility.

Once inside, patients and attendants enjoy an environment much like any other treatment room. The finish is the same as elsewhere in a hospital, and the room accommodates all the medical devices required for hyperbaric treatments. For safety there is a fire deluge system.

Fink Engineering's rectangular hyperbaric systems have been quick to engage the interest of the medical community. As a result, there is now a range of semi-standardised designs in different sizes which can be easily customised to suit your individual needs.
