Portable Oxygen

When medical conditions require extra oxygen for our lungs to function properly, the need for portable oxygen directly impacts our mobility. It becomes necessary to transport either an oxygen concentrator or oxygen cylinders at all times. Common portable oxygen solutions combine lightweight cylinders of varying capacity with an oxygen conservor that extends the use of portable oxygen tanks by carefully metering and sending "pulses" of oxygen to the recipient - either with each breath, or with every other breath. Metering can be set to continually provide whatever amount of supplemental oxygen is needed.
