Oxygen Tubing in Kenya
Leading Oxygen Tubing Supplier

Oxygen tubing, also known as respiratory tubing or cannulas, are essential medical devices designed to safely and effectively deliver supplemental oxygen from a medical oxygen source (such as an oxygen concentrator, cylinder, or wall outlet) to a patient. Constructed from medical-grade, flexible, and transparent materials like PVC, these tubes are engineered for patient comfort and to prevent kinking, ensuring uninterrupted oxygen flow. The tubing typically features universal connectors that readily attach to various oxygen delivery devices and oxygen sources, making it a versatile component in respiratory care.

Its primary function is to act as a conduit, bridging the gap between the oxygen supply and the patient's respiratory system. This facilitates the administration of prescribed oxygen concentrations, crucial for individuals experiencing hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels) or other respiratory distress. The design prioritizes patient safety, featuring smooth, rounded edges to minimize irritation and trauma, and a clear construction that allows for visual inspection of airflow and potential blockages.

Oxygen tubing is a critical component in the delivery of supplemental oxygen, essential for a wide range of medical applications across Kenya. From large-scale tertiary care facilities to smaller community health centers, reliable oxygen administration is paramount. This indispensable supply is utilized across numerous departments where patients may experience respiratory distress, require sedation, or are undergoing procedures necessitating oxygen support. The demand spans diverse healthcare settings, underscoring its universal importance in patient care and recovery.

Ensuring the correct and efficient installation of oxygen tubing is paramount for patient safety and effective therapy. Our team in Kenya is equipped to handle the installation process with precision and adherence to all relevant medical standards.

Site Preparation: Before delivery, it's crucial to identify the optimal location for the oxygen source (e.g., concentrator, cylinder) ensuring adequate ventilation and accessibility. Clear pathways for tubing to reach the patient's bedside are essential, avoiding any potential trip hazards or kinks that could restrict flow. The designated area should be clean and free from dust or debris that could contaminate the oxygen supply.

Delivery and Unpacking: Upon delivery, our certified technicians will carefully unpack the oxygen tubing and any associated connectors or regulators. All components will be inspected for any signs of damage or defects incurred during transit. Sterile packaging will be maintained until the moment of installation to prevent contamination.

Installation Steps:

• Connection to Oxygen Source: The primary end of the oxygen tubing will be securely connected to the appropriate outlet on the oxygen concentrator, cylinder regulator, or central oxygen supply system. A leak-proof seal is confirmed at this stage.

• Routing and Securing: The tubing will be carefully routed to the patient's location, ensuring it does not obstruct movement or create hazards. Where necessary, the tubing will be discreetly secured to furniture or walls to maintain its position and prevent accidental dislodging.

• Connection to Patient Interface: The distal end of the tubing will be connected to the patient's interface device, which could be a nasal cannula, a mask, or a non-rebreather mask. This connection will be firm and secure.

• Flow Rate Check: Post-connection, the oxygen flow rate will be set according to the physician's prescription, using the integrated flowmeter on the oxygen source or a separate inline flow regulator.

Calibration Requirements: While oxygen tubing itself does not typically require calibration in the same way as a flowmeter or concentrator, the oxygen delivery system as a whole must be calibrated to ensure accurate and prescribed oxygen concentrations are delivered. Our technicians will verify that the oxygen concentration delivered at the patient interface matches the prescribed percentage. This often involves using a pulse oximeter to monitor the patient's oxygen saturation levels and, if necessary, adjusting the flow rate or the oxygen source settings. Regular checks of the oxygen source's performance and any associated flowmeters are conducted to guarantee the accuracy of the oxygen supply. Our service includes a post-installation verification to confirm the entire system is functioning as intended and meeting all therapeutic requirements.

The cost of oxygen tubing in Kenya can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of tubing, the manufacturer, whether it's new or refurbished, and the supplier. For basic, standard adult oxygen tubing, you can generally expect prices to range from approximately KES 500 to KES 1,500 for new items. These are typically disposable, single-use options suitable for most clinical and homecare applications.

Refurbished or bulk options, especially for larger institutions or distributors, might fall into a lower price bracket. However, for critical medical supplies like oxygen tubing, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and quality is paramount. It's advisable to inquire about certifications and the condition of any refurbished products. For specialized tubing, such as pediatric, high-flow, or oxygen concentrator specific tubing, prices can extend upwards to KES 2,000 or more for new, premium quality products.

When making a purchase, consider the length and connection types required, as these can also influence the final price. Always ensure you are sourcing from reputable medical equipment suppliers in Kenya to guarantee product integrity and patient safety.
