Gas In Your Business for Health Care Industry


Oxygen (O2)
In medicine, oxygen is used during surgery, intensive care treatment, etc. Oxygen is typically supplied to hospitals though bulk liquid deliveries, then distributed to usage points.  It assists with respiratory problems, saving lives and increasing patient comfort.  High standards of purity and handling must be maintained.

Nitrogen (N2)
Nitrogen is used as a shield gas in the packing of some medicines to prevent degradation by oxidation or moisture adsorption.
Nitrogen is used to freeze blood, as well as viruses for vaccination. It is also used to freeze livestock semen, which can then be stored for years. The quick freezing resulting from the intense cold minimizes cell wall damage. Liquid nitrogen is used in cryo-surgery to destroy diseased tissue. 

Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon dioxide is used as an additive to oxygen for medical use as a respiration stimulant
