First Ever Silicon Oxygen Cannula Eliminates Stinking Plastic Odors and Cancerous Gases for COPD patients.
Long term oxygen patients now have a non-noxious non-toxic alternative. The new Everest nasal cannula made from 100% silicon does not have the harmful PVC gases, plastic smell or cause skin irritation, and even stays soft for over 1 year. Connection Tube With Yankauer Handle
PVC is forbidden in children’s toys and certain medical products. The exposure to phthalates from PVC is closely regulated in the work place. And phthalate gases from PVC have been identified as causing birth defects and cancer.
However, for long term oxygen therapy patients and COPD patients, there has been no alternative for avoiding these noxious gases from PVC nasal cannula. These patients, which already suffer under one of several lung diseases, must suffer in addition the effects of PVC on their lungs and bodies. In addition, some patients develop allergies to PVC and have skin and nasal irritations. The standard oxygen cannula must be replaced every 2 weeks.
In contrast, the Everest silicon oxygen cannula has a one year guarantee and will generally last longer than 2 years. It can be sterilized or boiled in water for disinfection and remains soft even at very cold temperatures or over long periods of time.
However, there are some disadvantages of the new Everest silicon oxygen cannula, the most important being that it is louder than normal PVC cannula and only 1.2 meters long. The noise level can be compared to that of the sound of a refrigerator running in the background.
