Luxfer Uttam India Pvt Ltd launches its unique portable, rust free oxygen therapy system for people with homecare oxygen needsNew Delhi, September 27th , 2012: Heralding a new era in homecare oxygen therapy Uttam Air products in collaboration with the UK based Luxfer group today launches their new user friendly oxygen therapy system OxyGo. OxyGo is a complete kit providing oxygen on the move for patients in critical care and for patients with home based oxygen needs.
David Rix, Managing Director Luxfer Group Europe says, “Our OxyGo kits use aluminium cylinders manufactured to global standards in India. We employ the latest state-of-the art technologies to ensure rust free and easy to use oxygen cylinders”.
Mr Karan Bhatia, MD Uttam Air Products says,” OxyGo will bring a positive change in the lives of people with oxygen needs. OxyGo benefits people suffering from pulmonary infections or diseases, respiratory failure, heart and cancer patients and all patients requiring oxygen in the home. OxyGo kits provide patients the freedom to walk or exercise and unlike today patients will not be tied to their beds anymore. Patients will not have to continuously visit hospitals for their oxygen needs.”
Current use of steel cylinders which are corrosive means that the oxygen supplied is tainted and potentially dangerous to inhale. Unlike the bulky steel cylinders OxyGo aluminium cylinders are light weight making them easy to carry around, MRI compatible and available in different sizes to suit the patient’s needs. OxyGo should be made available at every hospital, medicine store and rehabilitation centre.
Dr R.K Aggarwal, currently Chief of Intensive care at Kolmet Hospital Delhi says, “An estimated Rs 35000 crore is spent by patients every year in India for treatment of lung and pulmonary disorders. The amount of money spent is unbelievably more than the total budget of the Health Ministry. Patients with lung diseases and pulmonary disorders need safer, easily available, user friendly options for their oxygen therapy needs. Initially to be launched only in Delhi NCR, Uttam Air Products plans to chart and market OxyGo kits throughout India. Taking oxygen home therapy another step forward Uttam Air Products is promoting and creating a community group, Breath Easy to provide a platform for all patients with lung disorders to connect with each other for education, advice and support.
