In the healthcare world undergoing a radical transformation, where Medical Gas Systems have become the lifeline supporting millions of medical procedures annually, the selection of appropriate materials for supply networks is a crucial factor distinguishing success from failure.
Imagine a simple gas leak in an operating room threatening a patient’s life, or contamination in an oxygen line leading to a bacterial infection – these are not fictional scenarios but real risks that can be mitigated by using Tonoli copper pipes, the leading Italian company and the optimal choice in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
In line with the execution of Vision 2030, which aims to establish over 1,000 modern health facilities, the medical gas market in Saudi Arabia is estimated at USD 144.8 million in 2024, with growth projected to USD 240.9 million by 2033 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. These figures are not just statistics; they are evidence of the golden opportunity to invest in reliable solutions like Tonoli pipes, which ensure the safety of vital gases such as Oxygen, Medical Air, Nitrous Oxide, and Carbon Dioxide, with full compliance to NFPA 99 standards and the regulations of the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA).
Tonoli s.r.l., the only Italian company in Europe specialized in producing copper tubes dedicated to Medical Gas Systems, Vacuum, and Anesthetic Gas Scavenging Systems (AGSS), offers products that exceed expectations in purity and durability.
In this article, we will reveal in detail the secret behind their excellence, supported by scientific evidence and reliable statistics, focusing on their role in Sanad Medical projects, the Saudi company specialized in hospital outfitting. Whether you are an engineer planning a new project or a medical director seeking to enhance safety, you will find compelling reasons here that make Tonoli the undeniable choice.
Tonoli Pipes… Purity That Guarantees Medical Gas Safety – And Protects Lives
Purity is not a luxury in medical gas systems; it is a moral and legal obligation. Tonoli pipes, especially the Medicalfein product line, are manufactured from pure copper alloy with a Cu+Ag ratio of no less than 99.90%, classifying them as a Class IIA Medical Device according to European standards.
This exceptional purity protects the gases from Corrosion and minimizes the risk of gas contamination or fire, thanks to an internal surface with low carbon residue. Imagine: in a medical environment where Oxygen is used in over 80% of surgical procedures, any contamination can lead to disastrous consequences.
Recent studies reveal that 70% of Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS) failures result from impure materials, leading to supply interruptions or life-threatening accidents.
But with Tonoli, the clean surface maintains gas quality at 99.9%, making it ideal for Intensive Care Units (ICU) and isolation units, where precision is a matter of life and death.
The inherent properties of copper further bolster this choice, proving effective in reducing fire and smoke risks by up to 40%. Additionally, copper possesses anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties, ensuring medical gases remain sterile and safe for patients, which is crucial in facing health challenges.
In Saudi Arabia, where Oxygen gas is projected to dominate 53.2% of the medical gas market by 2025, Tonoli aligns perfectly with SFDA regulations that classify gases as drugs and demand contaminant-free piping. Designed for use in centralized medical gas systems according to ISO 7396-1, Tonoli provides an environmental guarantee in the hot Saudi climate.
As for compliance with NFPA 99, Tonoli meets the requirements of ASTM B819 for seamless copper tubes of Type K or L, ensuring safety in the transmission of Oxygen and other gases without leaks. This is not just compliance; it is an investment in reducing Downtime to less than 1%, compared to traditional pipes that may reach 5%.
