Medical gases have recently been regulated as pharmaceutical substances in many countries. The first FDA approval and a Nobel Prize were awarded to NO (Nitric Oxide) gas, which was “Molecule of the Year” in 1992 of the scientific journal Science

Gas-therapeutic innovations will provide significant benefits in the Health Care industry because:

  • Gases are important biological messenger molecules
  • Well-known gases show promising biological effects
  • Current uses of gases in medicine are minimally explored
  • Physical and chemical properties of gases can enable the application of other medical principles
  • Gases are Naturally occurring substances and seem to have low toxicity profiles
  • Medical gases are the fastest growing segment in the gas industry
