Oxygen tanks

Oxygen therapy uses compressed oxygen. The compressed oxygen gas is stored in a
portable tank.

The tank delivers oxygen to your body through nasal tubes, a face mask, or a tube
inserted in your windpipe. A meter on the tank keeps track of the amount of oxygen
you breathe in.

Oxygen concentrators
Oxygen therapy is also available in concentrator form. An oxygen concentrator takes
air from the environment, filters out other gases, and stores oxygen for use.
Unlike compressed oxygen, you don’t have to use prefilled oxygen containers.

Concentrators are useful for people who need oxygen therapy all the time. But
concentrators need electricity to work, so they may not be as versatile as
compressed oxygen.
