Year
2020
SaiOx was founded to bring the benefits of heliox to those experiencing difficulty breathing. Heliox is less dense than air, thereby decreasing airflow resistance and allowing patients to breathe easier. This new respiratory assist device is small and portable, making it ideal for use in any setting, from intensive care units to the home. It addresses a broad range of medical conditions requiring respiratory support, including diseases such as COPD or complications from pneumonia common in the current COVID-19 crisis.
