Ideally suited to replace or avoid expensive, high maintenance liquid systems.  Patients are familiar with cylinders and  will not have the inherent problems with filling, venting, freeze up and running out of oxygen as with liquid portable systems.

• Save over 70% of the cost compared to liquid portables
• 5 year hydro test period (same as aluminum cylinders)
• 15 year service life
  
  Luxfer's new carbon-composite cylinders are the lightest-weight, strongest medical oxygen cylinders in the world.  They're also up to 30% lighter than all-aluminum cylinders.  Luxfer carbon-composite cylinders provide oxygen in much smaller, easy-to-carry packages that greatly enhance lifestyles of ambulatory patients and make therapists' jobs easier.  And these new Luxfer cylinders are non-magnetic, ideal fro use near magnetic-sensitive equipment such as MRI units.
