Market Fundamentals
A medical gas is defined as gas that is manufactured, packaged, and intended for administration to a patient for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Medical gases are considered prescription drugs because their use as drugs is unsafe without the supervision of a licensed practitioner or by properly instructed emergency personnel. Medical gas equipment are the supply systems used to provide/create/distribute medical gases in the piping system. Medical gas equipment are vital for safe anesthetic practice.
