OxyEgypt provides a comprehensive solution for medical gas applications including warehousing, engineering delivery system, ancillary equipment and accessories. This is a group of specialized applications that work to provide integrated solutions for the supply and delivery of natural gas to customers throughout the Republic
Because of the importance of the healthcare sectors, there are strict international standards governing the production and supply of medical gases, and for its part, the company’s membership in the Compressed Gas Association (OGA) and the International Oxygen Manufacturing Association (IOMA) testifies to our expertise in the field of medical gases.
Bearing in mind the critical importance of medicinal gases, we have established a traceable, customized and fully equipped supply chain to meet the needs of hospitals and clinics; Whether they use liquid or pressurized medical gases. Hospitals and other medical facilities require a continuous supply of high quality medical and specialty gases, as well as secure systems for storing and directing gases to various locations such as operating rooms, laboratories and patient rooms. Delivery personnel are always on hand to quickly respond to emergency requirements of patients both at home and in the hospital.
Oxy Egypt owns multiple agencies for medical engineering technology and equipment providers, which enables the company to comply with European, British and American medical engineering standards, allowing Oxy Egypt to provide integrated and comprehensive solutions for clients specializing in medical fields.
Use of medicinal gases
1. Anesthesia and resuscitation
2. Preservation of human tissue and biological samples
3. Calibration and operation of analysis instruments
4. Home care services
5. Freezing
6. Breathing
Oxygen
Medical oxygen is a very faint blue, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas. It makes up 21% of the atmosphere, and is essential for the continuation of life on Earth. Absorption of oxygen from the air is the primary purpose of respiration, so oxygen supplements are used in medicine. All living things need oxygen to survive and the importance of oxygen in healthcare cannot be underestimated.
Applications
1. Treatment of respiratory insufficiency and resuscitation.
2. Preservation of human tissues and biological samples.
3. Provides life support in artificial ventilation.
4. Treatment of emergency situations such as suffocation and heart attack.
5. It is used in anesthesia.
6. It is used in high pressure oxygen chambers to treat carbon monoxide poisoning, damaged tissues and gas gangrene.
7. It is used in specialized oxygen treatment rooms.
Medical Nitrogen
Nitrogen makes up 78% of the volume of air and is a “permanent gas”, colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-combustible. It is a very inert gas in a free state and unable to support life, extremely cold in a liquid state of -196°C.
One volume of liquid nitrogen gives approximately 700 volumes of gas at ambient conditions. Nitrogen consists of a number of important compounds, such as ammonia, nitric acid and cyanide, and is a component of all organized living tissues, animal or plant.
Applications
1. Freezing and preservation of blood, tissue, semen and other biological samples.
2. Cryosurgery and cryopreservation.
3. An air pressure source for operating gas-powered medical devices.
4. Chiller for carbon dioxide laser used in surgery.
As a component in many gas mixtures:-
1. Displacement medium for sterilizers
2. Non-oxidizing displacement medium in pharmaceutical vials.
3. A propellant in compressed air aerosols.
Medical Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is generally known as “laughing gas” or sweet air. It is a chemical compound of nitrogen oxides. At normal room temperature, it is a colorless, non-flammable gas with a slightly sweet odor and taste. It is used in surgery and dentistry because of its anesthetic and analgesic effects. It is known as laughing gas due to the euphoric effects of inhaling it, a property that has led to its recreational use as a dissociative anesthetic. At higher temperatures, nitrous oxide is a strong oxidizer similar to molecular oxygen.
Applications
1. Analgesic and combined with one or more agents to produce a balanced anesthesia.
2. It is used in cryosurgery
3. Anesthesia in dental applications
Medical Air
Air makes up 99% of the Earth’s atmosphere, and is mostly made up of oxygen and nitrogen. The air is colourless, odorless, tasteless and non-toxic. It is not flammable, but it supports combustion.

Medical CO2
Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, non-flammable gas used for various medicinal purposes. It consists of burning hydrocarbons with air, fermenting liquids and as a byproduct of chemical processes. It does not preserve life.
At -78.5 °C, it freezes to form carbon dioxide ice.
gases used

Applications
It is used to create an atmosphere similar to the physiological conditions for the operation of artificial organs, and in cryosurgery using inflatable instruments during laparoscopic surgery.
As well as for cryotherapy or for local analgesia by external application on the surface of the skin.
A component of the respiratory stimulant oxygen mixture to promote deep breathing. For injection into body cavities during surgical procedures.
