Hyperbaric Safety RequirementAll textiles used inside hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers must be 100% cotton. Synthetic materials can generate static electricity in oxygen-rich environments, creating a serious fire and safety hazard. These towels are manufactured from 100% cotton fabric, hem threads, and labels to meet this critical safety requirement.
Linen Plus USA Hyperbaric Towels and Washcloths are specifically designed for use in hyperbaric oxygen therapy chambers and other controlled medical environments. Manufactured using 100% cotton fabric, hem threads, and labels, these towels meet strict safety requirements for oxygen-rich settings.
To ensure proper handling and compliance, each towel features distinct purple hem stitching, allowing staff to easily identify and separate hyperbaric-approved textiles from standard linens at a glance before any contact with the HBOT chamber environment.

About the Purple Hem Identification
Why the purple hem matters in HBOTIn hyperbaric oxygen therapy facilities, the stakes of using non-compliant textiles inside the chamber are extremely high. Standard linens may contain synthetic fibers in their hems, labels, or thread that generate static electricity in the pressurized oxygen-rich environment. The distinctive purple hem serves as a rapid visual compliance check, allowing nursing and support staff to confirm a towel is HBOT-approved before it enters the chamber, without reading tags or labels.

Why 100% Cotton for Hyperbaric Use
Cotton versus synthetic materials in oxygen-rich environments
100% Cotton (This Product)
Safe for HBOT Chamber Use
Cotton is a natural fiber that does not generate static electricity, making it the only acceptable textile material for use inside pressurized oxygen chambers where static could ignite the oxygen-rich atmosphere.
All Cotton Labels and Hems
No Synthetic Thread Anywhere
Even small amounts of synthetic thread in hems or labels can pose a risk. These towels use 100% cotton throughout, including every hem stitch and every label fiber.
Synthetic Materials
Not Safe for HBOT Use
Polyester, nylon, and other synthetic fibers can build up static electricity charge. In a hyperbaric chamber with elevated oxygen concentration, even a small static discharge presents a serious fire and explosion hazard.
Standard Hospital Towels
May Contain Synthetic Thread
Many standard institutional towels use synthetic thread for hems or contain synthetic fiber blends. Without the purple hem, these cannot be safely verified for HBOT chamber use at a glance.
