Therapeutic Liquid Oxygen
Essex Cryogenics ( St. Louis, Mo.) has introduced a line of lO-liter therapeutic liquid oxygen life-sustain-
ing systems for installation in EMS helicopters.
This system, which weighs less than 42 pounds, provides 8,600 li- ters of breathable oxy- gen -enough oxygen for over 35 hours of flow at a nominal rate of four liters per minute. The system of- fers the user a lightweight and convenient alternative to the bulky components now in use.
