Medical Carbon Dioxide
Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is a naturally occurring, colourless, and odourless gas, making up approximately 0.03% of the Earth’s atmosphere. As a versatile and essential medical gas, it forms a crucial part of Gas Africa’s product portfolio.
The most common use of medical-grade Carbon Dioxide is in minimally invasive surgical procedures—including laparoscopy, endoscopy, and arthroscopy—where it is used to insufflate and stabilise body cavities, thereby improving visibility and access to the surgical area.
Additional medical applications of Carbon Dioxide include:
- Increasing cerebral blood flow during specific surgical procedures
- Stimulating respiration in cases of hyperventilation and certain chronic respiratory conditions
- Increasing the depth of respiration during various medical procedures
Gas Africa supplies high-purity medical-grade Carbon Dioxide, ensuring consistent quality, safety, and reliability for critical clinical applications
