Medicinal products

Medical gases as medicinal products act directly on biological processes in the body to achieve therapeutic effects.

They have a pharmacological effect; this means that they actively intervene in the physiological processes of the body in order to achieve therapeutic goals. This distinguishes them from medical gases used as medical devices, as the latter use physical or mechanical effects without having a direct pharmacological effect.

Medical gases used as medicinal products must meet strict quality and safety standards to ensure that they are effective and safe for patients. Messer offers a wide range of medical gases that meet these high standards and can be used in various clinical applications to ensure the best possible care.

As the approvals of medical gases as medicinal products or medical devices are country-specific, please contact our sales company in your country for binding information on the respective supply range.
