or more information
We are Canada’s leading supplier of medical helium/oxygen gas, including Heliox 70/30 used in supportive respiratory therapy.
Medical applications
Heliox 70/30 gas is a mixture of helium (He) and oxygen (O2). This mixture is used as a medical treatment for patients with difficulty breathing. Heliox gas generates less resistance than atmospheric air when passing through the airways of the lungs, requiring less effort by a patient to breathe in and out of the lungs.
Heliox is mainly used in medical conditions of large airway narrowing or upper airway obstruction resulting in hypoxemia or when trauma to the airway occurs.
