Abstract: A flexible hyperbaric chamber includes a flexible air tight fabric vessel equipped with one opening at one or each end. A mobile door is provided for closing the fabric vessel. A metallic shield is provided adjacent to the opening outside the fabric vessel, the metallic shield defines a support into which the mobile door latches. A metallic collar is provided adjacent to the opening inside the fabric vessel. The metallic shield and the metallic collar cooperate to define a vice device for holding fabric of the fabric vessel. The fabric of the flexible fabric vessel is inserted into the vice device and this is tightened by a series of bolts with a predetermined torque. A flexible containment cage made by flat textile straps is provided. The straps are arranged in a discrete number of radial rings and a discrete number of longitudinal members, each intersection of radial rings and longitudinal members being fixed together to guarantee the consistency of the geometry of the cage.
