Nasal Cannula

Nasal Cannula

The nasal cannula (NC) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen or increased airflow to a patient or person in need of respiratory help. This device consists of a lightweight tube which on one end splits into two prongs which are placed in the nostrils and from which a mixture of air and oxygen flows. The other end of the tube is connected to an oxygen supply such as a portable oxygen generator, or a wall connection in a hospital via a flowmeter. The cannula is generally attached to the patient by way of the tube hooking around the patients ears or by elastic head band.

Features:

• Used for efficient oxygen administration to patients
• Made from soft, non-toxic, medical grade PVC
• Twin nasal tips ensure equal volume of oxygen to both nasal passages for greater patient comfort
• Multi-channel tube ensures regular supply of oxygen even if the tube is accidently kinked
• Proximal end of tube provided with universal connector for easy connection with oxygen source
