Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 I've bought from both of these places, and they do a good job. Peggy introduced me to the softhose - WOW - is it so much more comfortable than the cannulas supplied by my oxy co. Barbara McD PF--Sept 08; Sjogren's--Apr 09; Reynaud's--seems like forever Beautiful Western NC Counting my blessings: #17 - Another birthday. Consider what a great forest is set ablaze by a small spark.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 You can also get Hudson RCI softech cannulas from Tina's. While they aren't as soft as softhose, I do find them better than Salter which is what most suppliers deliver.
