3B Medical has launched the Freedom X oxygen cannula, intended to address the common complaint of nose irritation from patients receiving oxygen.
Constructed out of silicone, the patent-pending Freedom X cannula positions under the nostrils for contact free delivery of oxygen. The Freedom X is compatible with all continuous flow stationary concentrators, and is also compatible with 3B Medical's portable oxygen concentrator, the Aer X.
Ted Jagger, VP of product development for 3B Medical, said: "Developing an algorithm for timing pulse delivery with an external cannula can get complicated. But we felt strongly that solving patient nose irritation was worth the effort. The Freedom X is a major advancement in improving the comfort of POC use for oxygen patients.”
