<p>Method of encapsulating a hyperbaric gas for the treatment of diseases in humans with encapsulated gaseous precursors, such as microbubbles of oxygen. The method includes the step of immersing a receptacle (10) containing an encapsulating material (12) into a reaction vessel (14). An ultrasonic probe (16) is then inserted into the reaction vessel (14). When the vessel is sealed, a source of hyperbaric gas (18) is communicated therewith, and the vessel is then immersed within a cooling fluid (20) so that the hyperbaric gas (18) condenses. Thermal energy is then applied to the receptacle (10) and ultrasound energy is delivered to the ultrasonic probe (16). When the probe vibrates, hyperbaric gas is distributed within the heated encapsulating material (12). After the cooling fluid (20) chills the mixture of hyperbaric gas in the encapsulating material (12), the hyperbaric gas is entrapped therewithin.</p> |
