Key Medical Gases from Oxynord

1. Medical Oxygen

Medical oxygen is essential for treating respiratory conditions and is widely used in hospitals, clinics, and emergency care settings. It supports critical care for patients with respiratory distress, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and those undergoing anesthesia. Medical oxygen is delivered in precise concentrations to help sustain life and improve oxygenation in patients.

2. Medical Air

Medical air is a specialized gas mixture used in ventilation systems, providing breathable air for patients in surgical and intensive care units. It is often employed in combination with anesthetic agents for mechanical ventilation and patient support during procedures. Medical air is a critical component in ensuring the safe delivery of anesthesia and in maintaining oxygen levels for patients unable to breathe independently.

3. Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as “laughing gas,” is a medical gas used primarily as an analgesic and anesthetic. It is widely used in dentistry, labor and delivery, and emergency care to reduce pain and anxiety. In combination with other anesthetic agents, nitrous oxide provides rapid pain relief and sedation in both medical and surgical settings.

4. Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

In the medical field, carbon dioxide is used in minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopy to inflate body cavities and provide better visualization for surgeons. CO2 is also used in cryotherapy for the treatment of certain skin conditions. Additionally, carbon dioxide plays a role in medical device calibration and diagnostic testing.

5. Helium

Helium is used in medical applications where its low density makes it a valuable gas for respiratory treatments. When mixed with oxygen (heliox), helium helps improve airflow in patients with obstructive airway conditions such as asthma and chronic bronchitis. Helium is also utilized in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, where it cools superconducting magnets, ensuring reliable imaging for diagnostics.

Applications of Medical Gases

Oxynord’s medical gases serve various critical applications in healthcare, including:

Anesthesia and Pain Management: Medical oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air are vital components in anesthesia and analgesic procedures, enabling safe surgeries and effective pain relief.
Respiratory Care: Medical oxygen and helium-oxygen mixtures (heliox) are key to treating respiratory illnesses and ensuring adequate oxygen supply to patients in intensive care and emergency settings.
Surgical Procedures: Carbon dioxide is used during minimally invasive surgeries to improve visualization and reduce recovery time for patients.
Diagnostic Imaging: Helium plays a crucial role in the operation of MRI machines, ensuring effective cooling of magnets and enabling accurate imaging results.
Cryotherapy: Carbon dioxide is used in cryosurgery, a technique that treats skin conditions and certain cancers through freezing.

Packaging and Distribution

Oxynord delivers its medical gases in high-pressure gas cylinders, liquefied forms, and bulk supply options, depending on the specific needs of healthcare facilities. The company ensures that all gases are packaged and transported under stringent safety protocols to maintain quality and efficacy during storage and use.
