Product Description
Questions & Answers
I had 14 feet of tubing.
There isn't a cannula on it; it's just tubing.
Flexible, but not excessively so. If stepped on, it kinks easily and turns off. My 7 footers have a thicker wall than this one.
When I first started using oxygen, I noticed that when I replaced the tubing, it smelled like a slice. I've grown accustomed to it, though. For the past four years, I have been using this tubing. I'd try one and see if the scent lingered after two days. Then I'd send them back to you.

For the past few years, I've been using these hoses. I am confident that they will meet my requirements for supplemental oxygen. They're firm enough to prevent kinking but light enough for me to walk around my house with them on. This is an excellent product.
Flexible, but not excessively so. If stepped on, it kinks easily and turns off. My 7 footers have thicker walls than this one. It's possible that any review claiming that these don't kink isn't completely accurate. Internal ribs run the length of the tubing and should keep the flow going when kinked or stepped on, but they don't. In comparison to my 7 footers, I'm much more restricted when blowing through it. I wasn't able to put the Liter flow capability to the test.
Flow. I assumed this was a "high-end" item. tubing with a "flow" It wasn't (as I could see just by looking at it). I still haven't been able to find such a product, so I'm not sure if it exists. I attempted to contact Westmed via email, but got no response. I'm confident in the quality of the product-- It's just not what I'm looking for.
This creates a tripping hazard for the wearer as well as anyone else nearby.
Roscoe tubing is used by the oxygen company here, and it kinks in a matter of days. We purchased this tubing on our own dime and plan to do so again.
Reconnecting on a regular basis! I was extremely dissatisfied with the service and would not recommend it to anyone!.
Kinks form more quickly as the tubing gets longer.
