Nasal Oxygen Cannula: The nasal oxygen cannula is a flexible, lightweight tube made of medical-grade materials. It is designed to be inserted into the patient's nostrils to deliver oxygen directly to the respiratory system.
Curved and Flared Soft Prongs: The prongs at the end of the cannula are curved and flared to provide a secure and comfortable fit inside the nostrils. The soft prongs help reduce discomfort and irritation during use.
Oxygen Delivery: The cannula is connected to an oxygen source, such as an oxygen concentrator or oxygen cylinder, to deliver a continuous flow of oxygen to the patient. The oxygen flow rate can be adjusted as per the patient's requirements.
Disposable: The nasal oxygen cannula is usually designed for single-use and is disposable. This helps maintain hygiene and prevents cross-contamination between patients.
Size Options: Nasal oxygen cannulas are available in different sizes to accommodate various patient populations, including infants, children, and adults. Proper sizing ensures a comfortable fit and efficient oxygen delivery.

What is oxygen nasal cannula used for?
The nasal cannula allows breathing through the mouth or nose, is available for all age groups, and is adequate for short- or long-term use. Compared with other oxygen delivery systems, a nasal cannula decreases a patient's feeling of claustrophobia, but it may not be suitable for mouth breathers.
How much oxygen does a patient need?
Oxygen should be prescribed to achieve a target saturation of 94–98% for most acutely ill patients or 88–92% for those at risk of hypercapnic respiratory failure
What is the nose tube called for oxygen?
To breathe the oxygen, most people use a nasal cannula (say "KAN-yuh-luh"). This is a thin tube with two prongs that fit just inside your nose.
How much oxygen do you get from a nasal cannula?
A traditional nasal cannula can only effectively provide only up to 4 to 6 liters per minute of supplemental oxygen. This equates to a FiO2 of approximately 0.37 to 0.45.
