The Ultra-Lite Gamow Bag (pronounced 'Gam-off') is a unique, portable hyperbaric chamber for the treatment of altitude sickness. By increasing air pressure around the patient, the Gamow Bag simulates a descent of several thousand feet, thus improving the symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS) also known as altitude illness. The Ultra-Lite Gamow Bag is constructed of a durable lightweight nylon fabric and reinforced with circular nylon webbing that is capable of litter carry. A lengthwise zipper allows for easy entrance and exit for the patient, and the two clear windows allow for patient monitoring. The Gamow Bag is pressurized with ambient air up to 2 psi by use of a lightweight foot pump; there is a release valve to prevent over-inflation.
The Ultra-Lite Gamow Bag and foot pump are packaged in a lightweight nylon drawstring bag for transportation and weighs a total of 7.7 lbs, making it 5 lbs lighter than the standard Gamow Bag.
