# Hyperbaric Chambers Direct

> Hyperbaric Chambers Direct (HCD) sells research-grade hyperbaric oxygen chambers direct to adults 50+ for healthspan, recovery, and cognitive performance — sourced from certified manufacturers (FDA cleared, ASME PVHO-1 / NFPA 99), installed and supported in the home.

Hyperbaric Chambers Direct is a US-registered ecommerce specialist in residential hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers (HBOT). Based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded by Larry Smith. We connect adults over 50 — primarily home buyers focused on healthspan, longevity, and cognitive performance — with the same hyperbaric protocols studied in the peer-reviewed clinical literature, packaged as a one-time home purchase rather than a recurring clinical program. Our authority is rooted in the published research, including the 2020 Hadanny/Efrati Tel Aviv trial demonstrating telomere lengthening and senescent-cell reduction in healthy adults 64+.
