Medical Sterile Nasal Oxygen Canula Nose Oxygen Cannula With Soft Curved Prong/Straight Prong

Nasal Cannula is used to delivery supplemental oxygen to a patient or person in need of extra oxygen.
Nasal oxygen cannula is made from medical grade PVC, consists of connector (universal connector is available), oxygen tubing (usually the length is 2M), nose tip, Y-shape connecting tube.

A medical sterile nose oxygen cannula with soft curved or straight prongs is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to a patient through their nostrils.
 

Design: The oxygen cannula consists of a flexible tube made of medical-grade materials, typically PVC (polyvinyl chloride). It is divided into two prongs that are inserted into the patient's nostrils to deliver oxygen.

Soft Curved or Straight Prongs: The cannula may have soft, curved prongs that conform to the shape of the nostrils for a comfortable fit. Alternatively, it may have straight prongs that can be adjusted to fit the patient's nostrils properly.

Sterile and Disposable: Nose oxygen cannulas are sterile and designed for single-use. They come individually packaged to maintain cleanliness and prevent cross-contamination.

Oxygen Delivery: The cannula is connected to an oxygen source, such as an oxygen concentrator or cylinder, through tubing. Oxygen flows through the tubing and is delivered directly into the patient's nostrils.

Adjustable Tubing: The tubing attached to the cannula is usually adjustable in length, allowing healthcare providers to customize the fit and provide comfort to the patient. The tubing is lightweight and flexible to minimize any discomfort or pulling on the cannula.

Oxygen Flow Rate: The oxygen flow rate is typically adjustable and controlled by the oxygen source or a flow regulator. The flow rate is prescribed by a healthcare professional based on the patient's oxygen needs.

Nose oxygen cannulas are commonly used in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and homecare. They provide a convenient and non-invasive method of delivering supplemental oxygen to patients with respiratory conditions or those requiring oxygen therapy.

Why would a patient need a nasal cannula?
A nasal cannula is a medical device to provide supplemental oxygen therapy to people who have lower oxygen levels. There are two types of nasal cannulas: low flow and high flow. The device has two prongs and sits below the nose. The two prongs deliver oxygen directly into your nostrils.

Which is better nasal cannula or oxygen mask?
Some patients may prefer using a face mask instead of a cannula, as face masks offer several distinct advantages. Most notably, face masks can provide a consistent flow of oxygen and generally have a higher recommended flow rate than standard nasal cannulas, with flow rates averaging between 6 and 10 litres per minute.

How long can you be on a nasal cannula?
During the typical lifespan, if kept clean, a nasal cannula will last about two months, according to the Lung Institute. It's typically advised to wash your cannula once a week in a mixture of 10-parts water and one-part vinegar.
