Summit Oxygen, lightweight supplementary oxygen

Advantages

The most obvious benefit of our system is it's endurance. It is now possible to go from Everest top camp to the summit and back again using one 3-litre cylinder (approx 22½ hours at 2-litre/minute).

Other advantages are:

. Method of delivery. The oxygen is delivered via a silicone nasal cannula which allows the user to eat, drink, communicate and have an improved field of vision during use. A facemask is also provided for people who have difficulty using a cannula or simply prefer to use a facemask.

. Compatibility. All equipment is compatible, regardless of which size cylinder is being used.

. Environment. Using our system, far less cylinders are needed on the mountain. Having the capability to use a single cylinder on summit day vastly reduces the number of cylinders discarded on the mountain.

The cylinders are refilled by Summit Oxygen. All servicing, maintenance and repair will be carried out by our qualified engineers. The system will be operating in the harshest conditions so it is paramount that the equipment is looked after in accordance with our maintenance schedules.
