About Limitless Health’s Medical oxygen & respiratory supplies

Among the Leading Medical Oxygen Suppliers in South Africa

It took a pandemic to create global awareness of how crucial oxygen is, especially when you battle to breathe. Having access to an oxygen tank has been the deciding factor in survival for countless patients in hospitals around the country during Covid-19.

However, oxygen has always been crucial to survival, and hospitals and other medical centres often administer it to patients as a preventative measure against respiratory illness.

While the air we breathe contains oxygen, medical applications often require pure oxygen, such as when high-flow nasal oxygen or mechanical ventilation is used. This necessitates oxygen that is technically compliant with the SANS532 standard, meaning it is at least 95% pure.

At Limitless Health, our goal is to be the premier provider of in-home respiratory care while maintaining the lowest possible rates. As medical oxygen suppliers, we have a wide variety of medical oxygen supplies, including several oxygen cylinder sizes and medical oxygen concentrators to meet the needs of any patient.

What is Medical Oxygen?

Air is made up of a variety of gases, including nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), argon (0.9%), and other gases (0.1%). The oxygen used in hospitals and other medical facilities is purer and more concentrated. Simply put, if you take the nitrogen out of the air, you’re left with pure oxygen.

Medical oxygen cylinders, for instance, contain a very concentrated form of oxygen. The difference between medical oxygen and industrial oxygen is significant and must be understood.  Industrial oxygen contains contaminants that could make people sick, making it unfit for human consumption.

Medical oxygen is typically extracted from ambient air by fractional distillation, a procedure that separates air. This air is compressed to a pressure of 5-10 atmospheres, when its temperature drops to about -200 degrees. This causes the air, which is composed primarily of oxygen and nitrogen to become a liquid. One litre of liquid oxygen is equivalent to about 840 litres of gaseous oxygen, making it the most space-efficient form of oxygen storage.

Before oxygen can be used in a medical oxygen concentrator or an oxygen cylinder, it must go through a complex transformation from liquid to gas. In its original cryogenic storage tank, liquid oxygen is kept at a cold -183 degrees Celsius. When necessary, a predetermined amount of liquid oxygen is pulled from the storage tank and evaporated in a carefully monitored process. During this phase, the oxygen in the liquid state becomes gaseous by absorbing heat from its surroundings.

This transformation is analogous to a slow awakening, as the gas gradually emerges from the sleepy liquid state. The resulting gaseous oxygen is then routed through a complex network of valves and pipelines that have been specifically constructed for this purpose. The gas is filtered and regulated along the way to keep it pure and at the right pressure in accordance with safety regulations. When the gas has reached its destination, it is either concentrated for therapeutic use in a medical oxygen concentrator or stored in an oxygen cylinder until it is needed to give life-sustaining support.

Uses of Medical Oxygen

Medical oxygen is frequently utilised for the treatment of both long-term and urgent medical issues. The treatment can be administered in a hospital, a pre-hospital setting (like an ambulance), or at home to manage acute or chronic health issues. Several criteria, such as the patient’s individual demands and the opinion of the medical specialists involved, determine the mode of delivery and device utilised for providing the oxygen.

Many different methods exist for administering oxygen treatment. To aid in breathing and rest, many people use a nasal cannula, which consists of prongs inserted into the nose and a tube attached over the ear. Others wear a face mask over their nose and mouth.

In a chronic setting

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may use the therapy to provide them with long-term supplementary oxygen. One of the long-term repercussions of smoking is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which can necessitate the use of supplemental oxygen at times of deterioration or as a constant, round-the-clock aid.

Use in a critical care environment

In the event of a medical emergency, oxygen therapy is frequently utilised both in the hospital and by first responders in the ambulance. High flow oxygen therapy may be used in the prehospital context for resuscitation or in the event of allergy, significant trauma, a seizure, or hypothermia.
