Complete line of oxygen therapy equipment including concentrators, nebulizers, compressors, cylinders and oxygen delivery accessories.

Oxygen therapy is prescribed in the case of certain chronic respiratory ailments. These include such conditions as emphysema and sarcoidosis, which reduce the ability of the lungs to transfer enough oxygen to the blood, resulting in oxygen deprivation. Oxygen therapy is used to normalize the oxygen level in blood during sleep, rest, activity and during acute illnesses in the hospital.

Oxygen is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that is essential to most life, as we know it. When we breathe, oxygen enters the lungs and is absorbed into the blood. Oxygen, combined with the foods we eat, is what gives the cells in our body the energy we need. Oxygen therapy addresses any deficiencies in oxygen levels that one may experience.

Oxygen therapy systems may include portable oxygen systems and pulmonary medication devices that allow patients with serious lung and heart problems to continue or even start oxygen therapy at home. Hospital stays can be shortened, and in some instances, avoided. New technologies in oxygen therapy allow the delivery of oxygen at rates and concentrations to satisfy the changingneeds of a patient, whether at rest or during activities. This, combined with new lightweight portable equipment, allows patients to be more active in and outside the home - and even travel.
