The use of the SOS Hyperlite in Aeromedical Evacuation is of considerable interest to medical professionals.  The SOS Hyperlite (or EEHS to most Military personnel) has long been used, not only as a treatment system, but also for Transfer-Under-Pressure (TUP), transporting injured patients, whilst continuing to deliver 100% Oxygen at above ambient pressure throughout. Whether they be special forces, coastguard, commercial or scientific divers or simply sport divers on a  luxury yacht, ths SOS Hyperlite  provides an essential life saving capability, particularly when an incident occurs in a remote location, at a distance  from a multiplace hyperbaric facility.

The SOS Hyperlite has been specifically designed to allow therapy treatments of up to 60fsw (18msw), such as the US Navy Table 6, to be conducted at pressure altitudes  of up to 18,000ft above sea level. The unit is also capable of being used to maintain sea level pressures or above, with the incumbent breathing air or oxygen, in situations where being at ambient pressure may be life threatening. The advantage of this is that the aircraft will not need to fly at low altitude, as would otherwise be the case, saving considerable time and fuel.
