Laparoscopic Surgery
CO2 is the preferred insufflation gas in minimally invasive surgical procedures including laparoscopy, endoscopy, and arthroscopy. During these procedures, small incisions are made and CO2 gas is pumped into the abdomen to inflate it, creating a working space for the surgeon.
This allows surgeons to use micro cameras and specialised instruments for seamless operations with minimal patient trauma and faster recovery times.
All CO2 used in surgical settings must meet USP (United States Pharmacopeia) purity standards and comply with FDA regulations to ensure patient safety during these critical procedures.
Medical & Life Science Applications
Cryotherapy
Liquid CO2 provides temperatures down to −76°C for cryotherapy and local analgesia by external application on skin. CO2 purity of ≥99.5% is recommended to prevent skin irritation and ensure treatment efficacy.
Respiratory Therapy
CO2 mixed with oxygen is used to stimulate breathing in patients experiencing respiratory distress. Precise purity levels are essential for patient safety and therapeutic effectiveness.
Cell Incubation
CO2 incubators maintain 5% CO2 at 90–95% humidity for optimal cell culture growth. These systems are widely used in life sciences, medical research, and pharmaceutical industries.
