3B Medical Ultra-Soft 7 Foot Oxygen Cannula (5 Pack) (A) (A) (A)

Stays soft for the two weeks of use, so durability is great!

My wife had a really comfortable (for having to wear one) cannula from the hospital. The hoses to the nose were thin, and easy to get in place around her ears. The ones the Oxy supply place supplied were about twice as thick (both by the nose, and the cabling out to place where they merge). These are much closer to the hospital supplied ones, and my wife likes them much better. Two things we noted: 1) They do have bit of a plastic smell when first opened. She said she didn't notice it after about 30 minutes. 2) They _seem_ louder than the others. The hiss is more noticeable in a quite room than the either of the other brands they gave us. Not a big deal, as we sleep with a fan on for white noise already. For clarification, it isn't loud, just a bit louder. Will buy again if she is on the oxygen for more than a month.

RECEIVED QUICKLY, PERFECT FIT FOR SLEEP APEANA MACHINE. WORKED WELL WITH MY EQUIPMENT.

This tubing is very good. The tubing is soft and doesn't irritate my nose, and the cannula stays in place (I wear this overnight.) My only issue is that it has a strong plastic unpleasant scent when you take it out of the bag. It took several days for that to dissipate. I'd recommend taking one out of the bag a few days before you need to change to a new one.

The cannulas provided by hospice are fairly rigid and uncomfortable. I found these by accident and my mom loves them. Says she can barely feel them compared to the harder plastic cannulas. I showed the hospice nurse and she plans to recommend them to her patients who hate wearing the provided tubing.

I actually use them only for parts as I make my canulas from silicone tubing (extremely soft but NOT crush resistant which can shut off the flow) as I have extremely sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate me. I also use silicon tubing with a cinch to prevent my ears and head from being irritated as I have a head larger than the largest standard glass frames. It keeps my glasses from falling off when I'm working and can work like the standard strings allowing me to leave my glasses on my chest when not needed.

Great for use with my concentrator. These are soft enough not to cause discomfort, but sturdy enough that they hold up well. I'll reorder.

I have required supplemental oxygen for nearly 3 years, and these cannula are by far THE LOUDEST I have ever purchased! Others can hear the oxygen gushing from across the room! It's especially annoying for ME, because I have to wear them! It's loud! Like, SUPER LOUD! Is anyone else having this issue??? And no...it is not because my O2 is up too high. It must be the design, but MAN!!! I truly hate them! I bought a 5 pack, because I'm always needing to replace them, because as you all know, they eventually get stiff and start feeling like glass in your nostrils. Well...now what do I do??? I NEED my oxygen, so I cannot be without the cannula, so how can I return them??? I'm disappointed! It's giving me terrible headaches! 🙁
