Beaconmedaes

BeaconMedaes has the deepest roots in the whole medical gas industry. Our heritage includes such famous names as Ohio, Ohmeda Medical Engineering, Medishield, Medaes, Fluid Energy, NASH, Beacon and Puritan Bennett. There are no more famous set of names. The history starts with two firms, Ohio Chemical in the US and Medishield in the UK. Airco, a US industrial and medical gas manufacturer acquired Ohio Chemical and changed its name to Ohio Medical. During this period Ohio developed the Diamond I outlets and later the very revolutionary Diamond II. The basic design of the Diamond II is now used in virtually every medical gas outlet design in use today.
