We offer a wide range of medical grade gases to our healthcare customers and patients.

Oxygen USP (liquid and gaseous)

Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen enriched air as a medical intervention, dispensed mainly to improve the quality of life for patients suffering from chronic or acute ailments such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Oxygen is also effective in the treatment of cluster headaches, a rare but extremely painful relative of the migraine.

Specialty gas mixtures

Each of our products are analyzed and verified with our leading-edge laboratory procedures. Available in both refillable or non-refillable cylinders, they are guaranteed to provide the purity necessary for the most demanding medical applications:

• anesthesia calibration products
• pulmonary function products
• blood gas calibration products
• respiratory calibration products
• environmental calibration & biological incubation diagnostic
• support calibration products

Air Liquide Healthcare offers a broad range of specialty gas mixtures for variety of applications, ranging from calibration to diagnostics in the following different grades of purity.

Medical air

Medical air is used for a variety of patient applications. Many patients sensitive to oxygen toxicity are delivered air to lower their exposure to oxygen. Many of these patients have extremely delicate respiratory systems or processes which rely on a pure, accurate concentration of medical air. Some examples of patients dependent on a reliable, quality air supply would be neonates and those patients suffering from adult respiratory depression syndrome.

Nitrogen

Liquid nitrogen at -196°C is used to freeze and preserve blood, embryos, bone marrow and other biological samples without diminishing their intrinsic qualities. Also used in dermatology, it enables the treatment of cutaneous micro-trauma.

Nitrous oxide

Nitrous oxide is an anesthetic. Mixed with oxygen, it is also used as an antalgic (which attenuates the feeling of pain). It is used for the management of pain related to short but painful medical treatments (spinal taps, fractures, sutures, etc.), for anxiety management in patients who fear dental treatments and for the discomfort associated with childbearing. It is also an adjuvant of balanced anesthesia for surgical interventions, enabling reduced doses of other drugs and facilitating their post-operatory elimination.

Carbon dioxide

In the gaseous state, it helps constitute an atmosphere close to normal physiological conditions necessary in handling artificial organs. It is also used in modern, minimally invasive surgical interventions (colonoscopies, arthroscopies, etc.). In the form of dry ice, carbon dioxide is used to transport and conserve human tissue and organs at very low temperatures, which is absolutely vital to ensure successful transplant outcomes.
