The equipment manufactured by Cortex underpins a large portion of the practical testing that will be carried out on Everest in Spring 2007. Comparing the gas breathed in with that breathed out will tell the researchers a huge amount about the body?s internal workings.

With a heritage in sports medicine, Cortex have been fully committed in their technical support to Xtreme Everest and their active participation in the altitude chamber testing at the Centre of Aviation Medicine at RAF Henlow has paid dividends in adapting the equipment for such ?Xtreme? needs.
