Oxygen Demand Valve — For Advanced Resuscitation & High-Flow Oxygen Therapy
In our years supplying life-saving medical equipment, we have learned first hand how critical efficient oxygen delivery is. The Vigour Medstore Oxygen Demand Valve takes this efficiency to a new level and is much more efficient than constant-flow oxygen delivery systems. This medical oxygen demand valve is an innovative, patient-responsive device that delivers 100% oxygen only when the patient needs it.
How Our Medical Oxygen Supply System Works
The principle is beautifully simple but medically profound at its heart. Picture the high-sensitivity silicone diaphragm living inside the valve. When a patient is inspired, they generate a small amount of negative pressure. The diaphragm senses that immediately and opens the flow of oxygen. As inhalation ceases, the diaphragm relaxes by elastic recoil to its original position and halts the flow. This exact one-to-one response results in the breathing patient benefiting from inhalation therapy and not having to waste gas with a continuous flow system, which may allow gas flow into the atmosphere.
Critical Applications
This demand oxygen therapy device is not just an equipment but a solution for many problems. It is this versatility that makes it an essential tool for:
Emergency Resuscitation & First Response
In a high-stakes rescue, one provider can make a perfect mask seal with two hands as the valve takes care of the breathing. This is a game-changer for the treatment of victims of smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning, for which providing high-flow oxygen therapy saves lives. Indeed, immediate 100% oxygen therapy is a main therapeutic option in the reduction of carboxyhemoglobin half-life, as researchers reported in articles that can be found from the National Library of Medicine.
Efficacy of High-Flow Oxygen in Cluster Headache
Our oxygen demand valve has become a frontline tool for clinicians treating neurological conditions. For patients with attacks of disabling cluster headache, high-flow oxygen therapy is an established, noninvasive therapy. A ground-breaking study, published in JAMA, showed that over 90% of patients get rapid relief with this approach. Our system provides the high flow and concentration necessary for this particular protocol.
Diving, Aquatic & Hyperbaric Medicine
For the diving community, 100% oxygen is the only first-aid treatment for decompression sickness (DCS) and all pressure-related accidents. The Divers Alert Network (DAN), the international organisation on dive safety, recommends its use. Our demand valve resuscitator has proved its reliability time after time in search and rescue operating kits worldwide.
Conscious Sedation in Dentistry and Pain Management
Contemporary uses of nitrous oxide sedation in dentistry: Dentists today use nitrous oxide sedation to make treatment more comfortable for patients. Our medical oxygen demand valve can be easily incorporated into these sets, assuring the required oxygen and safety reserves, and allowing controlled and safe administration during any procedure.

Features Oxygen Demand Valve for Emergency Respiratory Support
Smart Breath-Actuated Delivery: The valve is an intelligent gatekeeper that delivers oxygen only when it senses a patient's inspiratory effort. Demand oxygen delivery system saves your precious oxygen supply and also increases cylinder life by a factor of five or more.
Critical Patient Unrestricted Flow: In critical breathless moments, this demand oxygen delivery system addresses the demand with a flow rate greater than 140 LPM, eliminating "air hunger."
Rugged Reliability: This valve's durable, lightweight construction, anodized aluminium, and reliable chrome-plated internals ensure that it can withstand the rigours of pre-hospital or Emergency Response use.
100% Patient Safety Guaranteed: The built-in pressure relief at 55 cmH₂O protects against dangerous inflation outside of the standard operating range; a convenient one-touch on/off valve allows you to control inflation, while the manual vent gives you complete authority over your resuscitation efforts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the most significant benefit of a demand valve compared to a constant-flow oxygen system?
The primary benefit is the preservation of oxygen. In real-world terms, this translates into staying power, and during extended transports or in mass casualty settings, it can mean the difference of hours of run time. This efficiency translates to both reduced costs and improved logistics readiness.
Can you use this valve to manually ventilate an apneic patient?
Yes, absolutely. The manual bypass button is strategically positioned for convenient operation. This permits you to deliver monitored, positive-pressure breaths to an apneic patient, making it a dual-use resuscitation tool.
Will it work with regular oxygen tanks and regulators?
It is universally compatible. The valve comes with an integral O-ring seal and works with any standard medical oxygen regulator (which outputs 50-55 PSIG), using a DISS connection, so there is nothing new to learn.
