Oxygen Concentrators

For many patients with respiratory problems, supplemental oxygen is a life necessity. Living at home requires continual delivery of extra oxygen to the lungs via a small breathing tube or mask. Oxygen concentrators are electrically powered devices that convert ordinary air into concentrated oxygen. Capacity and portability varies greatly between models, as does price. Wheeled units make it easy to move around the house. Battery powered models are mobile, for use byond the home. Some concentrators can even be used to fill oxygen cylinders used by portable oxygen units. Pricing for oxygen concentrators ranges from several hundred dollars into the thousands, depending on the application and capacity needed.
