treat and heal
In the past 15 years, the U.S. senior population—aged 65 years and older—has grown twice as fast as the overall population, and census data calls for similar growth in the decades ahead. As the nation ages, the need for medical care, medical facilities—and medical gases from Airgas—will increase. Our company is already a leading provider of these gases to hospitals, health clinics, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, and doctor and dentist offices. We serve these customers so they can better treat and heal patients in need. And Airgas is positioned to keep up with the rising demand in the years ahead.

Our Top Medical Gases
for Healthcare Customers
Breathe easy. Airgas provides respiratory gases where customers and patients need it, when they need it and in any mode—from bulk and MicroBulk tanks connected directly into hospitals' piping systems to portable Walk-O2-Bout® cylinders that let patients get the medical oxygen they need while on the move.
Growing Together with Our Medical and Healthcare Customers
Medical gases aren't the largest piece of the Airgas portfolio, but they are one of the most critical. Our products are used by customers to keep people healthy and alive, and when the stakes are the highest, we have what it takes to deliver. Airgas provides a full line of medical gases: pure medical grade oxygen and helium for breathing, specialty gas mixtures for measuring blood, lung and eye health, nitrogen to power surgical equipment, nitrous oxide for anesthesia, carbon dioxide and argon for specialized surgical procedures, hydrogen for therapeutic treatment and more. In addition, we offer a full line of specialty gas equipment, and many medevac units depend on our dry ice for organ transfers.
