Results for tag: "Stationary Oxygen Concentrators"

Stationary oxygen concentrators are medical devices designed for patients who require supplemental oxygen due to respiratory disorders such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), asthma, or sleep apnea. These devices work by filtering and concentrating oxygen from ambient air, providing patients with higher levels of oxygen than are naturally occurring. Unlike portable oxygen concentrators, stationary models are designed for home use rather than on-the-go mobility. They are typically larger, more robust, and can deliver higher flows of oxygen, making them suitable for patients with more intensive oxygen requirements, especially those who need continuous delivery of oxygen for extended periods. Stationary oxygen concentrators are classified as durable medical equipment (DME) and are often covered under many health insurance plans with an appropriate prescription from a healthcare provider. The market for these concentrators includes a range of devices with varying flow rates, oxygen concentration levels, sizes, and capabilities to address different patient needs. Advancements in technology have made these devices more energy-efficient, quieter, and user-friendly. Several companies are prominent in the stationary oxygen concentrators market, including Invacare, Philips Respironics, AirSep, Inogen, and DeVilbiss Healthcare. These manufacturers are known for their contributions to respiratory care and continue to develop and improve oxygen therapy solutions with a focus on enhancing patient quality of life and compliance with therapy.
