Medical carbon dioxide is suitable for endoscopy applications in minimally invasive surgery to “inflate” body cavities in order to create a better overview and accessibility. Liquid carbon dioxide, similar to medical nitrogen, is also used as an icing agent or coolant.
Medical carbon dioxide is also used in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) to create a body-like environment in incubators. This supports the optimal development of embryos outside the body.
Medical nitrogen is used as deep-frozen liquid nitrogen at temperatures below -190°C. It is used, for example, in cryotherapy. It is used in cryotherapy, for example to freeze warts, scar tissue or precursors of skin cancer. Medical nitrogen is also used to preserve biological samples and materials.
Synthetic air is used as an energy source to power pneumatic instruments such as drills in operating theaters.
