Medical Gases Available in Kansas City

Hohenschild offers a comprehensive range of cylinder gases that comply with FDA Medical Gases Guidelines and meet United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and National Formulary (NF) specifications. View our full gas catalog to see the complete list of gases and grades available.

USP-certified oxygen is among the most critical gases in any healthcare setting. It supports respiratory function, keeps patients stable during surgical procedures and treats conditions including hypoxia and hypoxemia. Hohenschild supplies this certified oxygen in high-pressure cylinders, giving healthcare facilities a consistent and compliant source for this essential gas.

Medical nitrogen in Kansas City serves a wide range of healthcare and laboratory applications. It powers pneumatic surgical tools and gas-powered medical devices, supports the cryopreservation of blood samples and biological specimens, and helps maintain the sterility of vials and sealed medical systems. Our medical-grade nitrogen is available in both compressed gas cylinders and liquid cylinders, providing flexible supply options to match your facility’s volume requirements and application needs.

USP-certified nitrous oxide is a widely used sedation and analgesic gas across dental and veterinary settings. Dental practices rely on it to keep patients relaxed and comfortable during procedures, and veterinary clinics incorporate it into standard anesthesia protocols. Hohenschild supplies USP nitrous oxide in cylinders, available for scheduled delivery to your Kansas City-area facility.

Hohenschild also provides a range of additional medical-grade cylinder gases to support the full scope of your facility’s needs:

  • Medical air/breathing air: Medical air is used in ICUs, NICUs and pulmonary nebulizers to reduce the risk of hyperoxia during mechanical ventilation and surgical procedures.

  • USP carbon dioxide (CO2): This gas provides insufflation during laparoscopic surgeries and acts as a respiratory stimulant when combined with oxygen.

  • USP helium: Helium gas is used to cool superconducting magnets in MRI systems and to treat upper airway resistance.

  • Ethylene oxide: This gas sterilizes medical instruments and equipment by destroying bacteria, fungi and viruses.
