2.1m Nasal Oxygen Cannula Oxygen Tube for Infant and Adult
Product description
The Nasal Oxygen Cannula is a medical device used to deliver oxygen
to a patient's respiratory system. It is typically made of soft
plastic and features two long, thin tubes, with one end connecting
to an oxygen supply source and the other end inserted into the
patient's nostrils. This design allows the patient to comfortably
inhale pure oxygen through the nasal passage, thereby increasing
blood oxygen levels.
The Nasal Oxygen Cannula is commonly used in settings such as
hospitals, ambulances, and home care to treat symptoms of
respiratory distress and oxygen deficiency. Its lightweight design
and ease of use make it a popular oxygen therapy device widely
utilized in various medical settings.

surgeries, and in intensive care units.
- Emergency Medical Services (EMS): EMS personnel utilize Nasal
Oxygen Cannulas to deliver oxygen to individuals experiencing
respiratory distress or in need of immediate oxygen
supplementation.
- Home Care: Patients with chronic respiratory conditions or those
requiring long-term oxygen therapy often use Nasal Oxygen Cannulas
at home to maintain adequate oxygen levels and improve breathing.
- Rehabilitation Centers: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are employed in
rehabilitation centers to support patients recovering from
respiratory illnesses, surgeries, or injuries.

help alleviate respiratory distress and improve the quality of life
for terminally ill patients.
- Sleep Apnea Treatment: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas can be used in the
treatment of sleep apnea, providing continuous positive airway
pressure (CPAP) therapy to improve breathing patterns during sleep.
- Aircraft and High Altitude Travel: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are used
in aviation and high-altitude travel to provide supplemental oxygen
to passengers experiencing hypoxia due to reduced oxygen levels at
high altitudes.
- Sports and Fitness: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts may use Nasal
Oxygen Cannulas for oxygen supplementation during training or
recovery to enhance performance and endurance.
- Veterinary Medicine: Nasal Oxygen Cannulas are also employed in
veterinary medicine to deliver oxygen to animals in need of

FAQ
1.How much oxygen is given in a nasal cannula?
A traditional nasal cannula can only effectively provide only up to
4 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen.
2.What are the disadvantages of nasal cannula?
Low flow nasal cannulas can only deliver a nasal cannula flow rate
of 4-6 liters of oxygen per minute. They don't provide humidified
or heated oxygen. So, they often dry out the nasal passages. This
can lead to bleeding or irritation.
3.How often should an oxygen nasal cannula be changed?
Every 2–4 weeks
Every week, wash your nasal cannula, clean your air filter and wipe
the outside of your concentrator with soap and warm water. Every
time you refill your humidifier bottle, wash it with soap and warm
water, rinse well and refill with distilled water. Every 2–4 weeks,
replace your cannula or mask.
4.What is the difference between oxygen and nasal cannula?
Conventional nasal cannula devices can deliver flows of only 1 to 6
L/min, whereas high-flow nasal oxygen therapy delivers flows from 1
L/min to 50 L/min, depending on the device.
5.Is a nasal cannula 100% oxygen?
The nasal cannula consists of two prongs, one inserted into each
naris, that deliver 100% oxygen. To be effective, the nasal
passages must be patent, but the patient need not breathe through
the nose. The flow rate settings range from 0.25 to 6 L/min. The
nasopharynx serves as the oxygen reservoir .
6.What is the purpose of a nasal cannula?
A nasal cannula is a device that gives you additional oxygen
(supplemental oxygen or oxygen therapy) through your nose. It's a
thin, flexible tube that goes around your head and into your nose.
There are two prongs that go inside your nostrils that deliver the
oxygen.
