What is the difference between single-person and two-person chambers?
A single-person chamber is a monoplace unit built for one occupant, such as the OxyEdge Enclave 1-Person at 34 inches wide. A two-person chamber is a multiplace unit for two adults.
The OxyEdge Enclave 2-Person is 65 inches wide and seats two adults simultaneously, both operating up to 2.0 ATA.
How do footprint and installation compare?
Two-person chambers require more floor space and a larger installation area than single-person units. Plan room dimensions accordingly.
Both single- and two-person OxyEdge chambers include professional installation with the purchase.
How do throughput and cost compare?
A two-person chamber lets two users share one session, which can improve throughput in a facility. A single-person chamber serves one user at a time.
Two-person chambers generally carry a higher price reflecting their larger construction. The Enclave 2-Person lists above the single-person Enclave.
