Medical gases

Essential gases in numerous treatments and diagnostic tests

Medical gases are essential in healthcare because they are used in multiple treatments and diagnostic tests: surgery, analgesia, cryotherapy, pulmonary function tests, sterilising, pain relief, etc.

Depending on their composition and application, healthcare gases can be considered medicines, that need the prescription of a professional, or health products. All of them are authorized by the Spanish Agency of Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) and comply with the law.

OXIGEN salud works with a wide range of medical gases used in hospitals in gaseous state (medical compressed gases) and in liquid state (cryogenic medical gases) for hospitals, healthcare centres and clinics.

The supply options for medical gases include:

• Different capacity compressed gas cylinders for specific or medium-sized quantities.
• Manifolded cylinder units for medium-sized consumption.
• Liquefied gases for large consumption are transported in tankers to stock cryogenic tanks installed in the client’s facilities.

Medical gases are transported in cryogenic tankers directly dispensed in the client’s facilities and with special vehicles adapted to difficult entry points and special supplies.

In addition to medical gases, OXIGEN salud supplies medical accessories and equipment such as flow measuring instruments, outlets and regulators, and first aid kits with the necessary equipment for resuscitation in case of respiratory emergencies (in particular RCP).
