What types of oxygen concentrators are available for home use?
Compressed oxygen (tanks), liquid oxygen and oxygen concentrators. With all of these systems, oxygen is inhaled through a mask or more commonly, a lightweight tube called a nasal cannula. A health care provider will discuss your options with you and may recommend one system based on your overall condition and your personal needs. You can also meet with home care representatives from a variety of medical supply companies to evaluate which product lines might best fit your needs. Your doctor can give you a list of companies that supply home oxygen equipment and supplies.
