When the Dwight D. Eisenhower VA Medical Center in Leavenworth, KS needed a medical gas trailer to equip their mobile operating room (OR), P1 Group stepped up to the challenge.
P1 couldn’t find a manufacturer that provided medical gas trailers, so we built one. Our extensive experience with med gas and operating rooms allowed us to apply those basic requirements to the trailer.
The result was a 24-foot enclosed trailer to sit next to the operating room trailer and house the oxygen, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and medical air. It also contains all the electronics for the sensors, manifolds, and electricity for lighting, heat, and exhaust. The trailer also required waste piping from the bathrooms in the OR trailer to a nearby manhole. The waste piping was heat traced, insulated, anchored to the parking lot and covered for protection. The sheet metal shop created a manhole cover that would accommodate the temporary waste pipe.
