Providing medical gas connections
that kill pathogenic microbes
Medical Gas fittings from Conex
Bänninger can assist in killing
pathogenic microbes in medical and
pharmaceutical scenarios, helping
specialist pipe networks circulate a
wide range of essential gas compounds
around hospitals, including oxygen,
nitrous oxide, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
and medical air.
Made of copper, with its anti-microbial
properties, Conex Bänninger’s Medical
Gas fittings require a copper-to-copper
braze installation – the only type of
jointing method permitted on medical
sites, allowing for capillary attraction
to ensure a mechanically strong, leak-
proof joint. The copper alloy Medical
Gas products within the range are also
manufactured from red brass materials
with high resistance to corrosion.
Available in a comprehensive size range
from 6 to 159mm, each Medical Gas
fitting is degreased on the surface to
below 0.01mg/cm2 of hydrocarbons
contamination, and complies with HTM
02-01 medical gas pipeline regulations,
which minimises opportunity for
impurity.
The low profile of the fittings allows for
a neat joint, especially where space
is restricted, and helps reduce flow
restriction.
The complete Medical Gas product
range is quality assured in accordance
with ISO 9001:2015 and independently
tested and certified for cleanliness.
Each unit is capped, sealed and cleaned
in accordance with BOC/MEDAES
3000000 specification, and carries the
BSI Kitemark stamp of approval.
Each product is individually bagged
in clear, protective polythene, with
an easily removable label stating the
degreased specification, product code
and product batch number.
Bill Barlow, Conex Bänninger’s UK
business unit director, stated, “We take
great pride in the fact that our Medical
Gas specialist copper brazed fittings
deliver excellence across the board,
ensuring the highest possible quality,
reliability and durability is met for all
medical gas installations in the UK and
across our global network.
“Ultimately, a hospital’s medical gas
connection network is as important as
the treatment itself, and our products
ensure that these vital compounds
are successfully delivered to medical
practices for patients in need, and
quality is never compromised.”
