Top 4 Benefits of Portable Oxygen Concentrators

Learn more about how Portable Oxygen Concentrators can help you regain your independence and live the life you want.

Don’t let anything hold you back from getting out of the house. You should be able to go anywhere you like without oxygen holding you back. Thankfully, with a portable oxygen concentrator, you are able to get to where you want to go and stay as long as you want. These are other people’s favorite perks of portable oxygen concentrators.

It’s Light

The average portable concentrator weighs around 4 pounds. Compared to the at least ten-pound weight of stationary concentrators, this makes carrying it with you so much easier. This means that you probably don’t need a travel companion to help you carry everything. It’s light, yet it has everything you need in one compartmentalized case. It comes with a rechargeable battery and power controls.

It’s Better for You

If there were times before where you had to go without oxygen, now you never need to. You can have the device with you 24/7. You really can take it with you everywhere. This makes it better for your health, as you are constantly getting the proper amount of oxygen your body requires.

Approved by the FAA

If you’ve been putting off an overseas or cross country trip because you weren’t able to fly with a normal concentrator, you can go ahead and buy that ticket! The Federal Aviation Administration does not allow normal oxygen concentrators due to the size and risk they pose while at a higher altitude. You should still call the airline before flying with your portable device, as they will likely require proof of need from your doctor. However, a little extra work is better than not being able to fly at all!

Less Space, More Freedom

Because you take up less space with a portable concentrator, you have significantly more freedom! Overall, you will be able to go where you want, when you want. Whether it’s a walk to the park or a day at the mall, your options are endless. This can have a significant improvement in your social life, as you are able to say yes to more activities with friends. You can expect this to put a big smile on your face and those of your loved ones.

Breathe easy wherever you go with your handy portable oxygen concentrator! Get yours here today.
