Steelhead Medical Grade Oxygen for COVID-19 Ventilation Treatment— a Manufacturing Pivot

Steelhead Composites Inc. is a leader in lightweight, reliable and safe gas storage vessels. Steelhead Composites offers dozens of products, in various formats and sizes for nearly every market – automotive, aerospace, energy, marine and others. Notably, Steelhead Composites does not serve the medical market owing to a belief that large liquid oxygen and small personal bottles were enough to satisfy needs. The coronavirus (2019-nCoV or COVID-19) pandemic has illuminated medical supply vulnerabilities that remained mostly untested since the 1918 influenza outbreak. Until now, oxygen supply vulnerability concerns centered on other mass casualty events and disasters. Regardless this represents an area of need that is now exacerbated, and a timely response is critical to save hundreds of thousands of lives across cities, states, nation and planet. Steelhead is performing a manufacturing base pivot. Steelhead Composites is establishing a cleaning facility to provide storage products that meet specifications for medical oxygen administration to humans (and/or animals). This will be used to meet needs for COVID-19, recurrence or other outbreaks and; reduce known and existing oxygen-supply vulnerabilities for numerous mass casualty events and disasters. Steelhead Composites is expanding its world-class manufacturing capabilities to produce medical oxygen containers and, SAVE LIVES.
