Explaining Nitric Oxide

Nitric oxide delivers unique medical benefits, unlike any other inhaled gas. The healing effects of this naturally occurring molecule remained largely a mystery until just a few decades ago. Nitric oxide functions as a signaling molecule helping dilate arteries and speed oxygen delivery to cells.

Nitric oxide kills viruses infecting cells, aids in healing wounds, and offers other patient benefits. Nu-Med Plus researchers are currently exploring other new applications for nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is not to be confused with nitrous oxide, known as laughing gas.

Treating Trauma Outside the Emergency Room

Issue Conventional Nitric Oxide Delivery Systems are Fixed Inside Hospitals
A frightful helmet-ringing crack silences fans at a highschool football game. A player falls to the ground as his body goes limp. Precious moments slip away after medical personnel arrive, currently unable to provide nitric oxide in a portable form.

Nu-Med Plus Solution  Portable Nitric Oxide
Nu-Med Plus puts the potential for precision nitric oxide delivery devices into the hands of ambulance crews and first responders. Whether they’re responding to head trauma at a football game or an unresponsive adult at home, the healing power of nitric oxide could be applied early and more successfully.

Unthinkable Choices: Cost vs Care

Issue  Current Nitric Oxide is Often Prohibitively Expensive
A premature baby delivers a choice no physician or parent wishes to face: cost versus care. Currently the cost of a neonatal nitric oxide ventilation is more than $100 an hour, with the smallest patients often needing days of nitric oxide for a healthy start to their life.

Nu-Med Plus Solution Cost-Effective Care
Nu-Med Plus delivery systems are on pace to potentially provide more effective solutions at 50% less than current legacy providers, allowing physicians and parents to focus on care and not cost.
