Oxygen Conserving Devices

Posted by Pro2 on
Oxygen Cylinders Pro2 LLCSome oxygen patients may wonder what a conserving device is used for and why it's so important. Today we'd like to tell you just that!

Pneumatic oxygen conservers include a combination of a low pressure regulator and an oxygen conserver. These are designed for use with a cylinder as an ambulatory oxygen system.

When we breathe, approximately one-third of the time is spent inhaling. The remaining two-thirds of that time is spent exhaling. As a result, oxygen delivered by continuous flow is wasted during exhalation. By eliminating oxygen flow during exhalation, a two-thirds savings is possible.

This then gives us the advantage of prolonging the time an oxygen cylinder will last. Oxygen patients who use portability will be able to enjoy extended time away from home using the same oxygen cylinder.

Visit the portability section of our website for basic guidelines on how long cylinders will last while using a conserving device.
