New cylinder improves oxygen delivery

The latest addition to a new generation of medical gas cylinders is helping hospitals and emergency services deliver life-saving oxygen more efficiently, easily and safely.

Launched by medical gases specialist BOC MEDICAL, the new durable, lightweight and easy-to-use ZX oxygen cylinder is lighter and safer with more capacity than conventional steel cylinders, and is steadily replacing existing cylinder stocks across the country.

Using an advanced steel and carbon fibre design the ZX has a 3,000 litre oxygen capacity, twice that of its steel counterpart and weighs just 10 kg, making it safe and easy to manoeuvre. For added safety, BOC has included a permanently live contents gauge to allow constant monitoring of gas levels, whether or not the cylinder is in use. The launch of the ZX cylinder is based on research and discussion across the medical community including hospital departments, emergency services and medical practitioners. It joins a range of new cylinders developed by BOC Medical to deliver oxygen, Heliox and Entonox.
