{"product_id":"gentec-bodok-seal","title":"Gentec Bodok Seal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gentec Bodok Seal is a specialised washer that creates a gas-tight seal between your medical gas cylinder and regulator. Replacement is part of routine medical gas equipment maintenance — Bodok seals wear with each cylinder changeover and degrade over time. A worn seal causes gas leakage, wasted oxygen, and audit non-compliance under Australian Standard AS3840.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGas-tight seal\u003c\/strong\u003e between medical cylinder and regulator.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialised compound\u003c\/strong\u003e rated for medical oxygen and air service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Gentec OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e — required for compliance with regulator warranty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCritical maintenance item\u003c\/strong\u003e — replace per service schedule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eType: Medical gas cylinder seal washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGas service: Medical oxygen and medical air\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with: Gentec medical gas regulators (and most standard medical regulators)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to replace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplace whenever you swap cylinders if the existing seal shows wear, deformation, or damage. Many clinical sites replace at every cylinder changeover as standard practice.
