Medical gases are indispensable in the medical sector. Legislation imposes considerable requirements on the use of oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide as medicines. These requirements must be met in the manufacturing process. Nitrous oxide, for example, is obtained as a pure gas in various Linde plants, through a chemical process.
Gases help the breathing function, assist in the examination of the lungs and blood circulation and are useful for anaesthesia. They are applied for diagnosis, in surgery, in sterilisation and in clinical laboratories for the operation and calibration of measuring equipment.
Abelló Linde, S.A. supplies medical gases suitable for current needs in accordance with the Royal Spanish and European Pharmacopoeia.
