Medical Gas Piping
In the complex healthcare infrastructure, there is an unsung hero that often goes unnoticed: medical gas piping systems. These systems serve as the circulatory system of a healthcare facility, ensuring the efficient delivery of vital gases and essential materials to where they are needed most. As a medical gas piping contractor, we strive to maintain a clear and safe piping system that patients can rely on.
The Importance of Medical Gas Piping
Medical gas piping systems are an integral part of any healthcare facility, from dental facilities, small clinics to large hospitals. They are responsible for the safe and reliable delivery of various gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, compressed air, vacuum, medical gases, and more. These systems play a pivotal role in patient care, making them indispensable in the healthcare industry.
Types of Medical Piping Systems:
Medical Gas Systems:
- Oxygen: Vital for patient respiration and life support systems.
- Nitrogen: Used in operating rooms for instruments and tool functions.
- Nitrous Oxide: Commonly administered as an anesthetic.
- Medical Air: Used for patient breathing and ventilators.
- Vacuum Systems: Essential for suction in operating rooms and patient rooms.
- Laboratory Air: Used in sterile processing in the cleaning of operating tools.
- Instrument Air: Used for operating procedure tools.
- Waste Anesthesia Gas Disposal (WAGD): Used to displace unused N2O.
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Used in operating rooms and procedure rooms for specific procedures.
Portable Water Systems:
- Ensure the delivery of safe and clean water throughout the facility.
Waste Water and Sanitary Systems:
- Responsible for the proper disposal of wastewater and sewage.
Specialty Systems (RO and DI):
- For applications such as laboratory, dialysis equipment, and other specific uses. Also RPZ certified.
