Oxygen Concentrators

Oxygen concentrators, also known as oxygen generators or oxygen machines, provide patients with a higher concentration of oxygen than what's found in ambient air. These medical devices produce oxygen on demand without requiring storage.

Key Features of an Oxygen Concentrator

Oxygen concentrators use a compressor to generate high-purity oxygen, delivering it to the patient at different flow rates—from 1 to 10 liters per minute—depending on individual needs. 5-liter oxygen concentrators are among the most widely used.

When choosing an oxygen concentrator, especially for home use, consider features such as low noise levels to avoid disturbing the patient and others. A compact design with wheels and a lightweight structure also makes it easier to move and operate.

The right model will depend on the specific application—whether it's for hospital use or domestic use (continuous or occasional, during sleep or daily activities). In all cases, a medical professional should define the specifications required for each patient.

Portable Oxygen Concentrators

Portable oxygen concentrators can be transported with the patient, enabling them to maintain a relatively normal daily life. These devices are smaller, lighter, and include a rechargeable battery to ensure a continuous oxygen supply.

While not all portable units can deliver high flow rates or oxygen concentration levels, they meet a broad range of needs and are ideal for use at home, in rehabilitation centers, nursing homes, or hospitals.

Most models include alarms for safety, auto shut-off timers, and even remote controls for easier operation.

The price of an oxygen concentrator depends on its features and capabilities. At Quirumed, we offer a selection of the best oxygen concentrators at competitive prices.
