Medical gases
Ilay White Horse Company is a 100% Algerian Limited Liability Company (SARL) and a pioneer in the production and distribution of medical gases. We place our technical expertise and human resources at the service of the healthcare sector, providing innovative solutions that meet the expectations of medical professionals while ensuring patient safety.
For patients with respiratory issues, oxygen therapy provides oxygen-rich air when lungs cannot perform their role fully.
Respiratory Care: Primarily used for patients with COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
Pain Management: Used to treat cluster headaches, one of the most painful conditions, characterized by violent headaches and unbearable pain in the eye and temple area.
Emergency: Used in hyperbaric chambers to treat carbon monoxide poisoning.
Nitrous oxide provides analgesic effects (pain relief) and potentiates (enhances) the effects of co-administered anesthetics.
Anesthesia: A standard component of combined general anesthesia, used alongside injectable or inhaled anesthetics.
Emergency & Pediatrics: Used in fracture reductions, dislocations, and childbirth in an equimolar mixture with oxygen (Entonox/MEOPA).
Painful Procedures: Ideal for children during difficult blood draws, bone marrow biopsies, or lumbar punctures; it often induces amnesia of the procedure.
New Research: Promising pilot studies indicate a positive effect against depression. It is listed on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines.
Reconstituted air composed of 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen.
Respiratory Support: Acts as a carrier gas for ventilators during anesthesia, intensive care, and ventilation, and regulate air inside incubators.
Nebulization: Serves as a carrier gas for aerosol therapy to administer inhaled medication when supplemental oxygen is not required.
Hyperbaric Chambers: Used to provide a reliable concentration of air to control oxygen exposure while patients breathe pure oxygen at 1.5 to 3 times normal atmospheric pressure to repair tissues.
A mixture of nitrous oxide and gaseous oxygen, used as a fast-acting analgesic to manage pain.
Insufflation: Used in minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopy, endoscopy, arthroscopy) to expand and stabilize cavities for better surgical visibility.
Cryosurgery: Acts as a freezing agent to destroy cells via necrosis.
Cryotherapy: In liquid phase, it reaches temperatures of -76°C for local analgesia or cryotherapy via external skin application.
Cryopreservation: Long-term preservation of stem cells, blood, and body fluids in biobanks.
Dermatology: Used in cryosurgery to destroy pre-malignant or malignant superficial lesions.
Gas Mixtures: Used as a component or excipient in various medical gas blends.
Classed as a Class Iia Medical Device.
- Argon Plasma Coagulation (APC): Powers specialized scalpels used in open surgery, endoscopy, or laparoscopy.
- Method: A non-contact monopolar electrosurgical technique that uses argon plasma to safely and effectively coagulate bleeding during surgical procedures.
