The Best Home Oxygen Concentrators and Their Benefits
The Best Home Oxygen Concentrators and Their Benefits
If you’re somebody who needs the support of supplementary oxygen throughout each day, Liberty Medical’s got you covered. On our POC blog you can find information on each individual home oxygen concentrator we offer, but we’ve compiled this comparative list to make learning about them as easy as possible for you!
Home oxygen concentrators are stationary devices that supply the patient with oxygen therapy by delivering it through a nasal cannula. The oxygen does not need to be refilled because concentrators take in the surrounding air, filter out the nitrogen, and deliver oxygen directly to you. These devices are set to deliver a continuous flow of oxygen and are designed to be used 24/7, even as you sleep. This ensures that patients get enough oxygen to breathe easier as the day goes on so they can wake up feeling refreshed and less fatigued.
But how do you know you’re getting the best oxygen concentrator for your specific needs? Take a look at the different features, settings, and benefits of each of our home oxygen concentrators so you can find the perfect fit.
