Oxygen Concentrators for  Rent


Since 2000, a number of manufacturers have introduced portable oxygen concentrators that can be used as a travel system. It is very similar to a home oxygen concentrator, but it is smaller in size and more mobile. The portable oxygen concentrator makes it easy for patients to travel freely. They are small enough to fit in a car and most of the major concentrators are now FAA approved for air travel. Whether you need a ventilator, CPAP machine, oxygen concentrator, or other type of respiratory aid, you can find it from local durable healthcare equipment suppliers and national medical equipment distribution companies.

Medical Respiratory Equipment Rentals

An oxygen concentrator is a device used to provide oxygen therapy to a patient at substantially higher concentrations than available in ambient air. They are used as a safer, less expensive, and more convenient alternative to tanks of compressed oxygen. Typically, patients use this medical device in the treatment of emphysema and other respiratory system diseases. It is also used as an adjunct to CPAP, or continuous positive airway pressure, and for treatment of severe sleep apnea.  It is also used in the treatment of  chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. This is persistent obstruction of the airways occurring with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, or both disorders. In the United States, about 12 million people suffer COPD. COPD leads to chronic airflow obstruction, which is defined as a persistent decrease in the rate of airflow from the lungs when the person breathes out (exhales). This airflow obstruction is partially reversible in some people, either spontaneously or with treatment. Different devices are available for COPD oxygen therapy. Electrically driven oxygen concentrators are used when electrical outlets are available. Compressed oxygen is available in small tanks that permit people to travel outside of their homes for 2 to 6 hours.

Oxygen Concentrator Rental & Portable Oxygen Concentrators

portable respiratory units

Oxygen Concentrator Rentals:  The purpose of an oxygen concentrator is to deliver continuous oxygen to patients. It has two cylinders, each filled with a zeolite material which selectively absorbs the nitrogen in the air. In each cycle, air flows through one cylinder at a pressure of around 20 psig, where psig indicates the gauge pressure (138 kPa, or 1.36 atmospheres) where the nitrogen molecules are captured by the zeolite, while the other cylinder is vented off to ambient atmospheric pressure allowing the captured nitrogen to dissipate.

Typical units have cycles of around 20 seconds, and allow for a continuous supply of oxygen at a flow rate of up to approximately five liters per minute (LPM) at concentrations anywhere from 50 to 95 %. This process is called pressure swing absorption (PSA). Since 1999, concentrators providing up to 10 LPM have been available for high flow patients, in sizes not much larger or heavier than 5 LPM concentrators.

CPAP Breathing Machine Rentals

CPAP respiratory systems

CPAP system rentals are commonly used for sleep apnea and to help people get the proper rest needed to stay healthy. CPAP or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure therapy is a method of respiratory ventilation. It uses a CPAP machine to increase air pressure in your throat so that your airway doesn’t collapse when you inhale.  It is commonly used to treat sleep apnea and can be used every night while sleeping. It can also be used in the treatment of various illnesses requiring respiratory ventilation.

If your doctor has recommended the use of a BIPAP machine you can view our BIPAP system rentals.

Nebulizer Systems For Rent

nebulizer rentals nationwide

Nebulizer Rentals:  A nebulizer is a machine that turns liquid medication into a mist so that it can be inhaled directly into the lungs through a face mask or a mouthpiece. Oxygen, compressed air or ultrasonic power is used to turn the medication into a breathable mist . Cystic fibrosis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, and other respiratory diseases use nebulizers rentals for treatment.
