The Bajaj Life Care CO2 Cylinder 4.5 Ltr (Aluminium Light Weight) – Empty is a medical-grade carbon dioxide storage cylinder designed for hospitals, emergency care units, ambulance systems, and surgical facilities requiring controlled medical gas handling. Manufactured from aluminium alloy with a lightweight configuration, this cylinder is suitable for applications involving laparoscopic insufflation support, emergency respiratory protocols, and procedural gas management systems. Its compact 4.5-litre water capacity and approximate 675-litre gas capacity make it appropriate for mobile and fixed clinical environments where portability and handling efficiency are important. The cylinder is engineered for use with compatible medical gas regulators and pressure-controlled delivery systems operating under institutional safety standards.
CLINICAL USE CONTEXT
Medical CO2 cylinders are routinely used in operative and procedural environments where controlled carbon dioxide delivery is required for insufflation and specialised respiratory applications. This 4.5-litre aluminium cylinder is suitable for operating theatres performing laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures where clinicians require stable gas supply through compatible insufflators and regulator systems. Anaesthesiologists, OT technicians, and biomedical engineering teams frequently utilise lightweight aluminium cylinders in settings where portability, rapid cylinder exchange, and reduced handling weight are operational considerations. In emergency transport systems and mobile clinical units, lightweight cylinders may support procedural readiness while minimising storage burden. The specified filling and test pressure ratings support institutional compliance protocols for medical gas handling and pressure vessel safety monitoring.

FAQ
1. Is this CO2 cylinder supplied filled or empty?
This model is supplied as an empty medical gas cylinder and requires filling through an authorised medical gas supplier. Healthcare facilities should ensure filling procedures comply with institutional and regional gas handling regulations.
2. What clinical applications commonly use a CO2 cylinder?
Medical CO2 cylinders are commonly used during laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures where carbon dioxide insufflation is required. They may also be integrated into specialised respiratory or procedural gas delivery systems under clinician supervision.
3. Is the aluminium construction beneficial in hospital environments?
Aluminium cylinders are generally preferred where reduced handling weight and portability are operational requirements. This can be useful in ambulances, mobile care units, operating theatres, and facilities requiring frequent cylinder movement.
4. Can this cylinder be connected to any regulator?
The cylinder should only be connected to compatible medical-grade regulators and gas delivery systems approved for carbon dioxide use. Compatibility verification by biomedical or technical personnel is recommended before deployment.
5. Does this cylinder require periodic testing?
Yes. Medical gas cylinders are subject to scheduled hydrostatic testing and safety inspection according to institutional protocols and applicable regulatory standards. The specified test pressure supports routine compliance verification procedures.
SAFETY DISCLAIMER
This product is intended for use by trained medical professionals and authorised healthcare personnel only. Users must verify compatibility with approved medical gas regulators and delivery systems before clinical use. Follow institutional sterilisation, decontamination, storage, and pressure safety protocols at all times.
