Medical gases

They are used – and are indispensable – in emergency situations, as a constituent of therapies, or for diagnostic purposes. Medical gases are used in various treatments. Medical oxygen is most common and easy-to-understand product used in hospital but what is exactly medical oxygen and how it differs from industrial oxygen?

What is medical oxygen?

Oxygen is essential for humankind to breathe. There is approximately 21% oxygen in the atmosphere. However, if one does not have enough oxygen in the blood, the body cannot function properly. Then we have to get oxygen externally for them. This way the oxygen needs to be certified as medical oxygen. Medical oxygen is certified to contain above a certain percentage of oxygen, and below a certain percentage of impurities. Moreover, not only the medical gas needs to be certified but also the medical oxygen tank needs to go through medical certification. The medical oxygen tank should be cleaned to a certain standard. This way there will be no impurities added to the medical oxygen by the tank itself. Regulations must be complied with to ensure that it is being properly dispensed and that it is traceable, with a lot number in the event of a recall.

Medical oxygen usage

Medical oxygen are used to maintain enough oxygen level in the blood so that the body can function properly, whereas the industrial oxygen is the form used in industrial application such as combustion, oxidation, cutting and chemical reactions etc. The industrial oxygen purity levels may not be appropriate for human use and there could be impurities from dirty equipment or industrial storage.
