The Science Behind Bimini
Oxygen perfusion therapy saturates warm bathwater with ultra-fine oxygen nanobubbles, roughly 2,500 times smaller than a skin pore, so oxygen passes through the skin into soft tissue. In the Rice University study, muscle oxygen saturation rose from approximately 50% to over 90% in 10-20 minutes.
Rice University Study Findings
A peer-reviewed study conducted at Rice University tested Bimini NanoJet on over 100 collegiate athletes.
Improvement in performance and recovery metrics
Muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) increase
Mental clarity reported after sessions
Oxygen toxicity observed at any level
What the Research Shows
- Oxygen delivered through skin via ultra-fine nanobubbles (0.005-0.02 microns)
- Significant increases in tissue oxygenation measured
- Athletes showed improvement 1-24 hours after treatment
- Most dramatic results in first few hours post-session
- Safe for daily use with no adverse effects
- Peer-reviewed and published research
Rice University Study
"The final conclusion of the studies using the Bimini NanoJet Perfusion System: it increases performance of the athlete, drastically improves muscle recovery, and improves mental clarity."

How Transdermal Oxygen Delivery Works
The R&D Behind Transdermal Oxygen Delivery
Bimini's founder on the multi-year research process — from early studies in 2019 to medical validation and bringing the first integrated oxygen nanobubble system to market in 2022.
Nanobubble Creation
The NanoJet creates oxygen bubbles just 0.005-0.02 microns in diameter (averaging 0.01 microns), approximately 2,500 times smaller than human skin pores.
Transdermal Delivery
These ultra-fine nanobubbles pass through skin pores via the same mechanism as nicotine patches and topical medications.
Tissue Oxygenation
Oxygen enters soft tissue and diffuses into the bloodstream, increasing tissue oxygen saturation from 50% to 90%+.
Bimini NanoJet Oxygen Perfusion, Explained in 3 Steps

1. Ultra-fine nanobubbles
Bimini nanobubbles measure 0.005 to 0.02 microns, averaging 0.01 microns. That is approximately 2,500 times smaller than a human pore, small enough to pass through the skin rather than sit on it.
2. Oxygen perfuses into the body
The oxygen-rich nanobubbles perfuse directly through the skin, helping raise muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) from approximately 50% to over 90% in as little as 10-20 minutes.
3. What increased oxygen supports
- Faster recovery
- Improved circulation
- Reduced inflammation and discomfort
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Better mobility and vitality
- Relaxation and overall wellness

"Coaches have used my 'RICE' guideline for decades, but now it appears that both ice and complete rest may delay healing, instead of helping."

Bimini systems are wellness devices, not medical devices. They do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results vary, and the findings above describe a single university study. Consult your physician before beginning any new recovery routine.
Safe and Effective
A study published in the National Library of Medicine states that 100% oxygen can be tolerated for 24-48 hours without any serious tissue damage.
Bimini NanoJet treatments of water saturated at 28 ppm with 95% ultra-fine oxygen nanobubbles consisting of 1 hour or less are a safe treatment with little to no risk.
