Core offering

BPR Medical designs and manufactures medical gas therapy devices used in hospitals, maternity wards, endoscopy units, neonatal care, and home oxygen settings. Core product families include Firesafe thermal-fuse oxygen fire-prevention devices, Ultraflow analgesic and oxygen demand valves with patented exhalation valves, the Medclair Mobile Destruction Unit for nitrous oxide capture and conversion, Dialflow pressure and flow regulators, and Microflow microdial flowmeters.

Product overview

BPR Medical is a specialist medical gas therapy company offering a comprehensive portfolio of medical devices designed and manufactured in the UK. The core product lines include: the Ultraflow analgesic and oxygen demand valve system for inhaled analgesia (Entonox/gas and air delivery) featuring patented exhalation valves that divert exhaled breath away from the handset; the Firesafe thermal fuse product range including cannula valves, nozzles, and pre-assembled oxygen administration kits that provide fire safety protection for oxygen therapy; the Medclair Mobile Destruction Unit (MDU) for nitrous oxide capture and conversion technology developed in partnership with Medclair; the Dialflow regulator and pressure regulator product families for precise medical gas flow control; and the Microflow microdial flowmeter range developed for neonatal oxygen delivery. Supporting these core products are medical hose assemblies (oxygen, nitrous oxide, medical air, and vacuum), the Domicilliary Oxygen Switch, and nitric oxide pressure regulators. The company serves NHS hospitals and healthcare providers across the UK and international markets, with products mandated in the UK and Germany for fire safety applications.

Products and services

• Ultraflow Analgesic Demand Valve Analgesic demand valve for inhaled analgesia delivery that diverts exhaled breath away from the handset to reduce cross-infection risk and delivers high peak flow with low respiratory effort; used in hospital maternity, endoscopy and minor injuries departments.
• Ultraflow Oxygen Demand Valve Oxygen demand valve intended for patient self-administration of oxygen that synchronises delivery with the patient's breathing; intended for cluster headache treatment in adult and paediatric patients.
• Firesafe Cannula Valve Thermal fuse device fitted in oxygen tubing that automatically isolates oxygen supply and extinguishes fire tracking back along the tubing during oxygen therapy fires; intended life of 5 years.
• Medclair Mobile Destruction Unit (MDU) Mobile nitrous oxide destruction unit that catalytically converts over 99% of exhaled nitrous oxide into harmless nitrogen and oxygen, supporting NHS Net Zero targets in labour wards and procedural areas.
• Dialflow Regulator Medical gas regulator delivering accurate and repeatable step changes in flow from full to near-empty high-pressure oxygen or other medical gas cylinders, with international cylinder connection options.
• Dialflow Pressure Regulator Pressure regulator that reduces high-pressure medical gas cylinder pressure to a stable lower pressure for connection to flowmeters, ventilators and other medical equipment.
• Microflow Microdial Flowmeter Neonatal oxygen flowmeter delivering accurate and repeatable micro step changes in flow down to 10 cc per minute for weaning infants from oxygen therapy dependency, with built-in precision regulator.
• Nitric Oxide Pressure Regulator Robust pressure regulator for reducing dilute nitric oxide gas mixtures from cylinder pressure to 4 bar for inhaled nitric oxide delivery systems, manufactured in an ISO-8 class cleanroom.
• Oxygen Hose Assembly Medical oxygen hose assembly engineered and manufactured in the UK with a 5-year lifespan, phthalate- and latex-free construction, compliant with ISO standards.
• Nitrous Oxide Hose Assembly Medical nitrous oxide hose assembly engineered and manufactured in the UK, compliant to ISO standards and beyond, phthalate- and latex-free.
• Medical Air Hose Assembly Medical air hose assembly engineered and manufactured in the UK, compliant to ISO standards with phthalate- and latex-free construction.
• Vacuum Hose Assembly Medical vacuum hose assembly with rigorous mechanical integrity testing for external leakage and end-connector gas specificity, with a 5-year lifespan.
• Domicilliary Oxygen Switch Home oxygen switch that simplifies installation of semi-permanent piped home oxygen systems by controlling flow from an oxygen concentrator and directing it to any room in the patient's home.
