CDI launches the Z-VALVE for medical applications

Z-VALVE - After years of experience working with oxygen customers providing innovative products at competitive prices, Cramer Decker Industries has developed the exclusive Z-valve. The new Z-valve has an easy-turn knob that allows for simple, respiratory patient use without additional leverage from wrenches and toggles. This saves customers the expense of providing valve tools and the time required assisting respiratory patients with the basic operation of opening and closing their oxygen cylinders. The new Z-valves also eliminate the dated “toggled” post valve, which commonly loses its toggle due to vibration, making valves inoperable without tools. The durable new Z-valve knob is securely attached, resists damage over commonly used plastic knobs, protects the stem from damage, and is more compact than the loosely attached toggled valves frequently used in gas markets today. The competitively priced Zvalve has been well received by EMS and hospital markets for its simple operation and its ability to be used without tools during emergency situations. The Z-valve is likely to replace many medical post valves purchased in the market today. Cramer Decker Industries also provides a compact socket that allows the use of pneumatic tools compatible with the Z-valve and standard wrench operated valves.
