Sponsor: BOC Medical

BOC Medical has been a key sponsor since the early stages of the Caudwell Xtreme Everest project. Their active involvement in support of the growing discipline of Intensive Care Medicine lead to an appreciation of the potential outcome of the science that will be conducted on the mountain.

As well as direct financial support, BOC Medical have supplied key gas mixtures used for simulating different ?atmospheres? and their effect on people. These gas mixtures include the all important ?Calibration Gases? used to check that the Cortex gas analysis equipment is functioning correctly in the ever changing environmental conditions.
