Questions & Answers
Yes, it's only a single 25-foot hose, but it works great and allows you to move around without compromising your oxygen supply. Mine is one of my favorites.
We do have 50ft tubing on hand.
Not in the least. My wife uses the tubes 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no complaints.
Selected User Reviews For Roscoe Medical 25 Foot Oxygen Tubing
Dislike: oxygen hose had a kink when it was delivered! Is it due to a lack of quality control in the manufacturing process or sloppy packaging and shipping? br> I'm not sure, but what I do know is that kinks in brand new, 25 foot Roscoe Medical Oxygen Tubing should not restrict or cut off oxygen supply/flow to the patient. br> My recommendation is to inspect the shipment as soon as possible after it arrives. Don't wait until the first time you connect it to your oxygen concentrator to use it, or you'll be blue in the face! And, if you're lucky enough to make it out alive, you might be disappointed to learn that the product's return window has closed, much like a trachea tube. br> Here's where the irony comes in: On the product packaging, there is a consumer caution label that reads: "Keep this away from small children and babies to avoid the risk of suffocation. " "br> I think the warning label should also say to keep this item away from anyone or anything that might obstruct or "KINK" the breathing tube, as this will make it less effective.
The odor of plastic, which is unavoidable, dissipates quickly. I use two 25' lengths with a swivel connector in between, as per a suggestion I found on the internet. Because I move around a lot, this setup is far less likely to kink and wad up than a single 50' tube. I wish I could express my gratitude to whoever gave me the tip, but the next best thing is to pass it on.
I had originally placed an order for another item, but I can't recall which one it was. These tubings have a thicker wall and are less likely to curl and kink than superlight tubing. This will be a good investment in a quality product if you have someone on oxygen.
This tubing was purchased because it was advertised as being kink resistant. Not true. If you try to unkink this tubing, it will kink even more. It returns to a kink almost immediately. If you're on oxygen, it'll kink, curl, and twist, which can be dangerous.
They've made a change. The ends are now too flimsy, and it keeps falling off! This one is kinking even more! It's starting to annoy me!.
I use a swivel connector to connect two 25-foot lengths of this tubing. This tubing does not kink like the original tubing that came with my unit. It's easy to breathe.
It smells like plastic until you run a lot of air or O2 through it for a while, like all tubing does. I usually run some very hot tap water through them a few times, then run air or O2 through them until the insides are dry to get rid of the smell permanently.
I just got it today and am using it right now. This is fantastic. So far, there have been no issues. They do have that awful plastic smell that so much tubing does, but I'm sure it'll go away in a few days.
