What Are Portable Oxygen Concentrators?
Portable oxygen concentrators help deliver medical oxygen to people needing oxygen therapy without hindering mobility or independence. They’re relatively lightweight oxygen concentrators producing oxygen-rich air for you to breathe in easily through a breathing mask or nasal cannula.
Oxygen concentrators work by pulling in outside air, filtering it to remove nitrogen and any contaminants and compressing it using an electric pump. They typically operate using rechargeable batteries and offer pulse or continuous flow oxygen. At-home, portable concentrators are generally safer and use less electricity than traditional medical oxygen tanks.
