Adult Oxygen Nasal Prong

Key Features

• Soft dual nasal prongs
  Two small curved tips sit inside the nostrils and deliver a steady flow of oxygen without causing significant irritation.

• Flexible, medical-grade tubing
  Made of soft PVC designed to rest comfortably over the ears and under the chin, minimizing pressure and skin irritation.

• Kink-resistant design
  Often features a star-lumen or ribbed structure that prevents the tube from collapsing, ensuring consistent oxygen flow.

• Universal oxygen connector
  The end of the tubing fits standard oxygen outlets on concentrators, cylinders, and wall ports.

• Lightweight and comfortable
  Preferred for patients requiring long-term or continuous oxygen therapy because it allows free movement, speaking, and oral intake.

How It Works

Oxygen flows from the supply source through the tubing and exits through the nasal prongs directly into the nostrils. The patient inhales the enriched air naturally with each breath.

Typical Flow Rates

• Usually used for 1–6 liters per minute

• Provides 24%–44% oxygen concentration, depending on flow and patient breathing

Common Uses

• Long-term oxygen therapy for chronic lung disease (e.g., COPD)

• Mild to moderate respiratory distress

• Recovery after surgery

• Home oxygen therapy

• Emergency and ambulance use

• Situations where a mask is uncomfortable or unnecessary

Benefits

• Allows talking, eating, and drinking

• Less claustrophobic than a mask

• Minimal obstruction to the face

• Suitable for extended use
