Travel Oxygen - Portable Oxygen Concentrators

 

Portable Oxygen Concentrators are the best thing that has happened to COPD patients on oxygen therapy as they allow you to travel by air, car, train or bus - like never before.

Traveling With A Portable Oxygen Machine:

If you have been diagnosed with COPD, you may think that you will no longer be able to travel. While this may have been true decades ago, it is no longer the case. Traveling with oxygen is now possible.

Thanks to advances in the field of portable oxygen concentrators, it is now possible to travel with the help of a portable concentrator. Traveling with oxygen is a reality regardless of where you want to go, you can take with you your portable oxygen concentrator.

POC´s (Portable Oxygen Concentrators) are ideal for travel. What is amazing about these oxygen delivery systems is that although they very powerful, they can weigh under five pounds. Because they are so light, they will never be an excessive burden to carry with you while you're away from home and are able to keep your levels of oxygenation - they are the perfect travel machines.

What is equally impressive with the new models is that they offer more than five hours of battery life and for longer needs you can always take with you a spare battery, effectively doubling the time. With their long battery life the oxygenator allows you to focus on getting where you want to go instead of worrying about how you can find your oxygen supply. And you can count on your POC to be durable when traveling.

One reason that so many patients with COPD love POC´s is because they are so easy to carry even as they pursue their normal, routine activities.

The carrying options you now have include: a small backpack, around the waist or a satchel as they are compact as well as light weight.

The round the waist option (LifeChoice for example) may seem like an uncomfortable idea, but once you have tried it out for yourself, you'll find that you hardly notice it. If you prefer as a backpack then there is no problem as it hardly puts any strain on your back.

Another reason important benefit from the new models of portable oxygen machines is that they give you true freedom of movement and travel in spite of your COPD.  This is because many models has been approved by the FAA.

Not only can you take your portable oxygen concentrator on the flights with you, but you can actually use them during flights.

These oxygenators allow you true freedom of movement (from our perspective, the most important benefit). You can now be comfortable and safe wherever you go. You now have the option to travel not only by car, but also using public transport - air, train, bus.

POC´s are ease to use, even when you are on the move. During the day you can enjoy multiple pulse flow settings. You can set the flow according to the dose you should be getting, whether it is at night, during exercise, or any variation you may be prescribed with.
