Who We Are

Since its founding in 1969, Environmental Tectonics Corporation (ETC) has been the technology leader in the development, design and manufacture of hyperbaric and aeromedical systems for both civil and military organizations around the world. To focus special attention within the company on the unique requirements of clinical systems, ETC formed the BioMedical Systems Group in 1998.
Among its associates, ETC BioMedical Systems has decades of experience in the field of hyperbaric technology. This includes equipment design and development, operational procedures and management, and R&D in both diving and clinical applications. To ensure that our products remain on the leading edge of technology and anticipate user needs, BioMedical Systems maintains a pro-active relationship with customers and the market at large. This philosophy has led to the implementation of new product features and advancements in the field of oxygen therapy. |
