  • In cryosurgery for minor surgical procedures in dermatology.

  • As a component in many gas mixtures.

  • As a displacement medium for sterile equipment, a non-oxidising displacement medium in pharmaceutical vials and as a propellant in pressurised aerosol dispensers.

  • As a source of pneumatic pressure to power gas-operated medical devices.
