Our heritage
We have a long established history in the field of medical gases. It
was an Air Products company that pioneered Homecare over 60 years ago,
as one of the first in the world to place an oxygen cylinder in a patient’s home.
Since then medical oxygen has become increasingly important as a first line
treatment for patients with respiratory problems. Concentrators have improved
life expectancy, and portable oxygen has given patients greater freedom
and improved their quality of life.
Air Products has continued to be at the centre of innovation and developments
in medical gas therapy. For example the development of the first portable
lightweight oxygen cylinders has given patients, previously unable to
leave home, the freedom to have their oxygen when and where they need
it.
Our Irish medical team was the first to introduce oxygen concentrators into
Ireland, as well as many other respiratory related products in non-invasive
ventilation and sleep therapy.
