Medical compressed air, as a strictly purified air, has a wide range of applications in the medical field. Its main uses can be summarized as follows:
1. direct therapeutic use
- respiratory support:
- ventilator medical compressed air is the main air source of the ventilator. By controlling the pressure and flow, it provides sufficient oxygen for the patient, assists the patient to breathe, and maintains normal oxygenation and carbon dioxide emissions, especially in the operating room, emergency room, intensive care unit, etc. Places play a key role.

- spray therapy in the treatment of patients with respiratory diseases, medical compressed air is often used as a medium for spray therapy to help the drug atomize into tiny particles, making it easier for patients to inhale and improve the therapeutic effect. (Source: Sichuan Qihui Home Page)
- dental Applications:
- medical compressed air is used for oral hygiene cleaning and care in the dental field, driving dental air drills and other equipment to ensure the smooth progress of the treatment process. (Source: Sichuan Qihui Home Page)
2. medical equipment power source
- surgical instruments:
- in the operating room, surgical instruments such as scalpels and suture guns require a large amount of medical compressed air. Scalpels use compressed air to dry wounds to facilitate suturing, while suture guns rely on compressed air to control their speed and strength. (Source: Baidu Library)
- other Medical Equipment:
- medical compressed air is also widely used to drive blood gas analyzers, polymerase chain reaction instruments, aspirators and other medical equipment to ensure the normal operation and precise operation of these equipment. (Source: official website of Shanghai Granklin Group)
3. disinfection and cleaning
- steam sterilizer the steam sterilizer uses medical compressed air to provide stable steam pressure to realize high-temperature steam sterilization of items, eliminate bacterial and viral infections, and ensure the health and safety of the medical environment. (Source: Baidu Library)
4. special environment support
- premature infant incubator in the incubator for premature infants, the artificial respirator provides a suitable life support system for premature infants by adjusting the mixing ratio of medical compressed air and oxygen. (Source: Sichuan Qihui Home Page)
5. Laboratory Applications
- in medical laboratories, medical compressed air is used to drive experimental equipment and analytical instruments such as gas chromatographs and mass spectrometers. These equipment require stable and pure gas sources to ensure the accuracy and reliability of experiments. (Source: official website of Shanghai Granklin Group)
6. Quality Control and Special Requirements
- the quality of medical compressed air is directly related to the effect and treatment effect of medical equipment, so it must be strictly purified and monitored, including filtration and sterilization, to ensure that it meets the requirements of medical gas quality standards. At the same time, pollution sources such as oil, water, dust and peculiar smell in the gas source must be strictly controlled to avoid adverse effects on medical equipment and patients.
