At HealthProductsForYou.com, you can buy oxygen tanks by choosing the right option from a lot of varieties!
 

Types of Oxygen Tanks

  • Compressed Oxygen Tank

    These are the most commonly used oxygen tanks but are popular because they are inexpensive and often covered by medical insurance. Compressed oxygen cylinders are heavy and they may have issues if not kept in an upright position. For portability, small oxygen tanks can be filled with the big ones.
  • Liquid Oxygen Tank

    These containers can hold more oxygen than the heavy ones and are lighter. They cost more than heavy containers and can't go on airplanes. Also, these liquid oxygen containers do not last as long because the oxygen can disappear. You can fill small portable containers from the big ones.

Which O2 Therapy Supplies Are Used With An Oxygen Bottle?

  • Oxygen Compressor – Oxygen compressors are used to fill compressed oxygen from the concentrator to the Home Fill oxygen cylinders.
  • Oxygen Concentrators - Oxygen concentrators work together with machines that make oxygen. People who have small containers to carry oxygen often use these machines.
  • Oxygen conserver - Oxygen Conserving Devices and Regulators are used to keep a check on oxygen levels inside the tank. They are also used to control the outflow of oxygen.
  • Pulse Oximeters – Pulse Oximeters are widely used along with oxygen therapy supplies to help caregivers monitor SpO2 levels in the patient’s blood. These are necessary to ensure they do not receive more than the required O2 levels as it can be harmful to the lungs.
  • Oxygen Cannula & Mask – Oxygen cannulas and masks are used with oxygen tanks to deliver oxygen to the user.
  • Carry Bags - Carry bags are frequently used by people who are prescribed oxygen and need to travel frequently. This allows them to carry cylinders anywhere with ease.
  • Racks and Stands - Oxygen cylinder racks are used in homes and medical places to keep oxygen containers safe when they're not being used. These are really helpful, especially for small oxygen containers, because they keep them standing up and stop them from moving around.

Oxygen Cylinder - Frequently Asked Questions

  1. How do I safely use an oxygen tank?

    • Don’t let anyone smoke or in the room if a patient is using oxygen.
    • Always keep the tank your patient is using in the stand. Lay any other tanks on their sides and secure them so they don’t roll around
    • If the valve post breaks off a tank, the pressure can release and propel the o2 tank forward quickly.
    • Keep the tank away from all heat sources like radiators, heat ducts, stoves, fireplaces, matches, and lighters Oxygen is flammable, i.e., it can catch fire instantly and make things burn or even explode.
  2. How do I attach the regulator to the tank?

    1. Remove the plastic wrap from the valve post on the tank. It may contain a washer.
    2. Attach the regulator to the tank by slipping the regulator over the tank’s valve post. Align the pegs on the inside of the regulator yoke with the holes in the valve post. Slide the regulator forward so the pegs go into the holes.
    3. Fasten the regulator to the tank by turning the T-handle on the regulator until it is tight. If the handle is not tight enough or the washer is not in place, the tank will leak when the valve opens.

A word of Caution - Oxygen tanks must not be used near a fire as they act as an oxidizing agent and feed the fire. Be careful and be safe. Oxygen cylinders play a significant role in treating patients who have difficulty breathing, especially those on the life support system, and are mostly used in hospitals, clinics, and healthcare facilities.
