Erna...Welcome to the group.

About  that idea of an oxygen tubing take-up reel...we've been talking

about that for years!!!

They have them for stupid dog leashes, garden hoses and vacuum cleaners

don't they?

Someone here just has to figure it out. My husband ( a mechanical

engineer)

says that the pressure of the O2 makes this idea not really possible.

The take-up reels for out door hose  work when there is no water in

them!

The O2 hosing in order to help us maneuver needs to continually carry

O2.

One of us or a family member  has to give us this gift of untangled

movement!

I get hung on every door knob, kitchen handle, and even my grand

daughter!

Hi, All 

Sometimes

complain that my dog has a bigger longer than mine…… I would love to

make a picture someday my oxygen hose and vacuum electrical hose

knotted up together and the dog having a ball playing around my tangle

of cords.

 

So thank you

for the suggestions about the male and female cord since sometimes I a

web of cords. here is a pdf file with

the female swivel I saw them at Amazon.com also. 

I also was

thinking for anyone who is good at little mechanical projects… Do you

know the retractable electrical vacuum cleaner cords? Would it not be

wonderful if they had something like this with oxygen cords… Or

something like this

with oxygen tubing

 

Talk to you

later, Erna ---it is a beutifual day and needs to be enjoyed.....

To use the oxygen in the shower, take the

oxygen off and toss the cannula tubing over the shower door or shower

curtin pole.  Put the oxygen back on and step into the shower. 

 

 The best thing to lessen the oxygen

knotting up is ask for a SWIVEL connector that

connects the tubing to the cannula.  That helps somewhat, but better

yet if you can also get a swivel connection that

connects the tubing to the concentrator.  I believe it is called either

a male connector, or a female connector.  I am sure someone on here

knows the proper name. It is about 3 inches long and connects a swivel

end to the tubbing and has a tubbing type connector on the other end to

connect to the concentrator.  Some oxygen suppliers don't seem to know

about this.  I had  a site that showed a picture of it, but I can't

find it.  Someone on here probably can find it.    Marcia
