1. MODS can carry more oxygen: A MODS portable patient medical oxygen system can store over 64,000 gaseous liters of oxygen in liquid form. LOX then safely expands exponentially as it is warmed to a gaseous state. This allows the MODS to carry more than three-and-a-half times its volume in the same size container as a high-pressure oxygen tank. In addition, the MODS trailer is designed and outfitted with storage areas for additional EMS equipment.
2. The Nurse Tank brings oxygen refilling to the field: With the separately towed Nurse Tank, emergency personnel can safely refill the MODS oxygen delivery converter time and time again at the triage site or in remote hospital scenarios. They don't have to carry or refill multiple high-pressure oxygen tanks, which saves time and reduces the risk of injury.
3. MODS is a safer form of oxygen delivery: Liquid oxygen is stored at a very low pressure compared to the potentially volatile high-pressure gaseous oxygen tanks.
4. The MODS is a maneuverable and flexible oxygen delivery system: The MODS can supply oxygen to multiple patients at once. With the portable PDK’s (small, lightweight oxygen supply control centers) and the ample and lengthy oxygen supply hoses, the MODS can reach isolated and tight-surrounding patient locations.
5. MODS is a more practical form of oxygen delivery for multiple patients: Imagine a mass incident triage setup where 30 patients require oxygen therapy as part of their rescue. Your choice: 1.) More than 12 heavy, high-pressure oxygen “H” cylinder tanks littering and obstructing the triage center or 2.) one MODS unit protected in a trailer up to 100 feet away from the triage area with the ability to address 30 individual patient oxygen flow requirements for up to two hours. In addition, the more high-pressure oxygen delivery points you establish, the greater the number of oxygen delivery failure points you create.
