COVID-19 GUIDANCE FOR NITROUS OXIDE & OXYGEN FOR LABOR & DELIVERYEmpower your Patients with Nitrous Oxide & Oxygen
For more than 50 years, Porter has been manufacturing nitrous oxide and oxygen systems. The Porter Nitronox® system safely and effectively provides maternity patients in labor the ability to control their pain relief. Nitronox is a demand flow system that provides the patient with a preset mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen. The patient self-administers the gas by holding the mask to her face and breathing normally. The patient remains alert and able to follow instructions.
Work More Efficiently and Increase Treatment Acceptance
Nitrous oxide and oxygen (N2O/O2) provides a safe, simple and fast-acting alternative to oral medications for minimal sedation. During the procedure, patients experience reduction in pain and anxiety due to the analgesic and anxiolytic properties of N2O. After the procedure is completed, the effects on the patient wear off within minutes.
OB/GYN procedures where nitrous oxide and oxygen is used include:
- LEEP procedure
- Endometrial ablation
- Vaginal rejuvenation
- Labiaplasty
- Biopsies
- Hysteroscopy
Porter Offers the Widest Selection of Nitrous Oxide and Oxygen Systems
Porter has been manufacturing nitrous oxide and oxygen systems for over 50 years and is the only company that offers both continuous flow and demand flow systems. Continuous flow systems allow you to adjust both the flow and percentage mixture to achieve the desired patient experience. Demand flow systems are simple and easy to use by providing a fixed 50/50 mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen. Which one is best for your practice?
