Over the past 100 years, the healthcare sector has undergone rapid development and evolution. An important role in this process was played by medical gases and mixtures used in the treatment of various diseases, providing effective anesthesia and pain relief, or conducting diagnostics. Each such substance has its own unique composition and history of creation.

This article will describe in detail which types of medical gases are most in demand in the field of healthcare, as well as give specific examples of their use.

Medical gases and mixtures: what and where are used?

The oxygen used in medicine has a high purity (at least 99.5%) since it contains practically no impurities. It is produced using low-temperature distillation technology and contains a small amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor. In this, it differs from technical oxygen used in industry.

Nitrogen- Nitrous oxide is actively used in the field of health care as an agent for inhalation anesthesia. It is an incredibly popular and common type of pain reliever used in the healthcare industry (often referred to as "laughing gas"). Inhalation of the composition leads to an intoxicating effect in the patient, relaxation, and drowsiness. It is most in demand in surgery and dentistry when it is required to provide relatively short-term anesthesia. The high level of safety of the substance allows it to be used to relieve the pain of a woman in labor during childbirth. In some cases, it is used in combination with other pain medications.

Carbon dioxide- Carbon dioxide is in demand in various fields of medical science. It is indispensable in the latest cosmetology techniques (including cryotherapy). The special qualities of carbon dioxide make it possible to create with its participation a special “pillow” that protects the wound from damage by dangerous microorganisms. Carbon dioxide is indispensable in laparoscopic surgery, acting as a filler and expander of the internal space in the human body, which ultimately makes it possible to perform complex operations. You can rely on Medical Gas Manifolds professionals for the installation of the medical gas system.

Ethylene oxide blends- Compositions consisting of liquefied ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide are capable of destroying various microorganisms and bacteria with a high degree of efficiency. In modern clinics, they are used to sterilize working equipment (including tools, plastic, glass, rubber, etc.). First of all, this concerns specialized equipment that cannot be sterilized by autoclaving or otherwise.

Since the mixtures described are intended for use by medical professionals, close attention should be paid to the quality of their production, the purity of the composition, and other important factors, as well as carefully checking the reliability of the supplier.
