  • EZ-OX Plus™: our economic and original VIPR medical oxygen tank, with an analog gauge, fixed orifice flow selector, and 50psi power take-off port.
  • Intelli-OX™: the same VIPR fitted with an innovative digital gauge that accurately displays the time remaining based on flow rate and cylinder contents.

Bulk oxygen tanks

We offer reliable oxygen vessel systems, piping, and technical services based on your oxygen consumption (generally over 700m3), in compliance with Canada's building code requirements.
