Helium 990 mL/L

Helium 990 mL/L is a high-purity respiratory gas used for various medical and industrial applications. This 250-liter cylinder from General Air Service & Supply Co ensures reliable supply for inhalation therapy and other uses.

Helium 990 mL/L is primarily used in medical settings for respiratory therapy, particularly in procedures requiring a controlled gas mixture. It is also utilized in industrial applications where a non-reactive, inert gas is needed. The gas is often used in combination with oxygen to create a heliox mixture, which can help improve breathing in certain conditions.

When inhaled, helium can help reduce the effort required to breathe by lowering the density of the gas mixture. This can be beneficial in situations where patients have difficulty breathing due to conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The effects are typically temporary and depend on the specific application and concentration used.

Helium should be handled with care, as it is a compressed gas and can pose risks if not used properly. It is important to follow safety guidelines when handling the cylinder to avoid accidents. Always use helium in well-ventilated areas and ensure proper storage conditions to maintain its integrity.

Helium is generally considered inert and does not interact with most substances. However, it should not be mixed with other gases without proper knowledge and equipment. Always consult with a healthcare professional or gas specialist before combining helium with other gases to ensure safety and effectiveness.
