An oxygen concentrator is a medical device that delivers supplemental oxygen to patients with low blood oxygen levels (hypoxemia). It works by separating oxygen from nitrogen in the air, and delivering the concentrated oxygen to the patient through a nasal cannula or mask.
Oxygen concentrators are a safe and effective way to deliver oxygen therapy in the home or hospital setting. They are relatively quiet and easy to use, and they do not require any special training to operate.
Oxygen concentrators are available in a variety of sizes and flow rates. The size and flow rate of the concentrator will depend on the individual needs of the patient.
