At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, we responded with the introduction of the Subsalve Oxygen Treatment Hood as a patient interface to deliver techniques in hooded positive airway pressure (HPAP) ventilation. The technique is a true gift from the sea, leveraging principles with direct ties to diving.
This device and non-invasive ventilation technique offers several benefits for patients in respiratory distress:
The project has been supported by multiple individual donors, partners, both for-profit and not-for-profit companies and institutions, and has resulted in the provision of humanitarian aid to numerous countries including Bolivia, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti, Nigeria, Indonesia, India, Iraq, and multiple others.
Covid-19 is not going away and will continue to impact many parts of the world – Help us Help. Donations will allow important research (& development) on this technology to continue.
A portion of proceeds from all purchased devices and systems from www.oxygentreatmenthoods.com is directed to Ocean Opportunity Inc., a Rhode Island based 501(c)3 not for profit organization. OO is committed to furthering related education, research, and facilitating aid relief during the pandemic. Please consider a tax-deductible donation today to expand our reach.

After several months of exhaustive benchtop study, we have developed a helmet/hooded positive airway pressure (HPAP) kit and technique to administer non-invasive ventilation. This is the most simplified means to administer helmet NIV, and may prove hugely beneficial in areas now experiencing hospital overburdens.
