3 BioBarica BioBarica is a global network of hyperbaric medicine designed to expand the availability of high quality therapeutic Centers BioBarica consists of a group of interdisciplinary professionals with the objective to develop Hyperbaric Medicine through new efficient technologies and high quality equipment and services

4 HISTORY Oxygen is the vital element that sustains human life. The principle of hyperbaric oxygenation was developed more than 150 years ago, based on Henry's Law: "The gases dissolve in the liquid when subjected to pressure."

5 The first hyperbaric chamber was built in Canada in 1860 and a year later was used in the US. In the middle of last century, studies of oxygen were accelerated in the field of aviation and marine diving, especially at NASA.

6 After several investigations by the scientific community, applications increased and new applications are contuniously being discovered in various pathologies.

7 WE HAVE TURNED SOMETHING VERY COMPLEX INTO A SIMPLE SAFE AND EFFICIENT CHAMBER

8 HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY The pacient breaths high doses of O2 in a hyperbaric enviroment This hyperoxia produces a wide chain of physiological benefits in the body That generates a strong HYPEROXIA Increasing the volume of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma, that reaches less irrigated tissues Greater oxygen diffusion and blood presure

9 Osteogenesis Stimulation of collagen synthesis Stimulates regeneration process of the skin neovascularization Angiogenesis Reduces swelling and inflammation HYPEROXIA EFFECTS Stimulates stem cells release Regulates oxidative stress and the inflammatory response Regulates the immunological response Vasoconstriction Regulates neurotransmitters

10 VISION We aim to be the largest network of hyperbaric treatment provision in the world

11 MISSION Promote train and advise doctors investors and communities related to health care in developing hyperbaric treatment centers And improve the quality of life of patients by providing efficient and affordable treatments

12 WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO We want to reach everyone in the world to have a better quality of life.

13 The hyperbaric chamber provides greater efficiency in the treatment prescribed by the doctor, allowing the patients to have a better general health and helping to deal with their condition with a balanced metabolism and energy.

14 HOW OUR HYPERBARIC SYSTEM We provide a complete and consistent service for the establishment and growth of hyperbaric medicine centers. We use hyperbaric chambers at medium pressure (1.4 ATM), achieving complete efficiency of oxygen diffusion in all tissues of the body. The BioBarica system facilitates the equipment, all the know-how, medical technical and commercial support to successfully manage the centers. The BioBarica Global System optimizes the management of centers and makes available to the network all the necessary information.

15 Results Oriented Medical Ethics Customer Centric OUR VALUES Sustainability Team Work Global Network

16 BioBarica around the World BioBarica international expansion

17 BIOBARICA TODAY We assist pacients per month They represent sessions per month and sessions per year
