Analgesic Gases: Trade Names and Composition
1. Introduction
Distinguishing Analgesic Gases from Medical Oxygen:
- Analgesic gases have distinct trade names, unlike medical oxygen.
- Medical oxygen is commonly known simply as "medical oxygen" without a specific trade name.
2. Trade Names for Analgesic Gases
Variety in Marketing Terms:
- Manufacturers of analgesic gases use unique marketing terms and trade names for their products due to the gas mixture's complexity.
- For instance, our product is named "Nitronox" based on our manufacturer's product name and marketing terminology.
- Another widely recognized trade name is "Entonox," used by a different manufacturer.
3. Commonality in Product
Same Composition Inside the Cylinder:
- Despite differing trade names, all analgesic gas products share the same composition when contained in the cylinder.
- Analogous to referring to a vacuum cleaner as a "Hoover," these trade names are synonymous.
4. Nitronox Composition
Mixture of Two Gases:
- Nitronox consists of two gases: 50% medical oxygen and 50% nitrous oxide.
- The gases are meticulously blended and analyzed to meet Pharmacopoeia standards.
5. Third-Party Filler
Outsourcing Cylinder Filling:
- We utilize a third-party filler for cylinder filling due to licensing requirements.
- The third-party filler possesses a product license, while we hold a license for product distribution.
