Designed in consultation with healthcare professionals, the revolutionary INHALO® design integrates cylinder, valve, regulator and flowmeter into a single, robust, lightweight and reliable unit.


The INHALO® features a high volume gas package which is light, easy to use and versatile. It eliminates the need for regulators, and with its plug-and-go functionality will make cylinder changeovers quicker, safer and easier – allowing you to concentrate on patient care.
BOC was the first company to develop and introduce the integrated valve cylinder to the healthcare sector. Its popularity has gone from strength to strength as customers have discovered how more efficient and convenient it is to use. These lightweight, ready-to-use cylinders have a built in pressure regulator, easy on/off handwheel and integral flow selector.
It is designed to make cylinder operation and the task of medical oxygen administration easier for healthcare staff, as there is no need to attach a regulator. With a wide range of flow settings, you can accurately select the treatment to meet the patient’s prescription. With the integrated valve cylinder, you get constant outlet pressure and flow settings to match your requirements. The cylinder has a “live” contents gauge, giving you a clear indication of contents at all times, even when the cylinder is turned off. The INHALO® is constructed from lightweight materials, making it easier and safer to handle than conventional cylinders. Using a medical oxygen integrated valve cylinder, ensures that therapy can be started right away, without any complex set-up or unnecessary manual handling for the operator.
