Medical Oxygen

Oxygen is colourless, odourless and tasteless. It will vigorously support combustion and sustain life. It is supplied as a compressed gas in high pressure metal cylinders.  In respiratory therapy, medical grade oxygen is administered to increase the amount of oxygen and thus decrease the amount of other gases circulating in the blood.  Information for In Home patients can be found on our Oxygen Therapy page.   Medical Oxygen MSDS  Consumer Information

Medical Nitrous Oxide

Nitrous Oxide is a non-flammable, colourless oxidising gas with a slightly sweetish taste and odour.  Nitrous Oxide is widely used as a base anaesthetic generally supplemented by other agents. It is used extensively for relative analgesia and as a freezing agent in cryosurgery.  Nitrous Oxide MSDS

 

Medical Air

Air, the earth's natural atmosphere, is a non flammable, colourless and odourless mixture of gases in which nitrogen and oxygen predominate. It is supplied as a gas in high pressure in steel or aluminium cylinders.  Medical grades of air are used for human respiration in breathing apparatus, drive suction venturis and for surgical tools.   Medical Air MSDS

 

Medical Carbon Dioxide

Carbon Dioxide is a non-flammable, colourless and odourless gas. It is liquefiable under pressure, with refrigerant properties in the liquid phase and is supplied in cylinders as a liquid under its own vapour pressure of approx. 5,000kPa at 15C.  Medical applications for Carbon Dioxide include its use as a pure gas or in specialised mixtures with other gases in stimulation of breathing & anaesthesia.   Carbon Dioxide MSDS
