Medline Supersoft Nasal Oxygen Cannula, Universal Connector, 7-Foot Tubing, Adult Size, Pack of 50

These are really soft on the nose and behind the ears. I had purchased some others and they re not. I will donate those and keep these on my list for all future purchases

Works as advertised

very soft, exactly what my dad needed because of his sensitive skin

This is my second purchase for this product and for some reason my original review of the product has disappeared, maybe because the original version has changed vendors or ASIN. Nevertheless, Medline’s SuperSoft Nasal Oxygen Cannula are everything they say they are. My wife is on oxygen 24/7 and as you can imagine, sleeping with a nasal cannula, made of hard plastic like the Salter and other brands, leaves not only facial indentations, but it causes sores and other painful problems. These are not wholly without discomfort when sleeping but they are as good as you are going to get if you are a 100% side-sleeper (back sleepers should have no problem whatsoever); and they are equally better during daytime active use. The only complaint with ALL cannulas is the rigid plastic portion of the oxygen line just loves to curl and get in the way of normal activities. But the soft gel-like facial portion reduces stresses on the face, fits comfortably over the ears without causing discomfort over time and stays in the nose nicely. There is also a lack of the “plastic smell” other brands often have. After going through the last batch of 50, I guess re-purchasing a second batch of 50 should say it all, this is a very good product and worth the investment if you are considering.I will also note that since the last purchase of this Medline product, the standard connector end has changed to a “universal” end. It is wider now and I suspect that was a design change for a problem others have had which we did not. It still connects easily to the D or E size oxygen canister and equally easy to the double ended connector going to the Oxygen Concentrator if you have a 50+ foot line you wish to connect to. The main draw to this product is obviously the soft facial section since the regular tubing comprising most of the cannula is equally comparable to most good quality latex free oxygen lines.

I like that the nasal cannula and portion attached near the face are real soft & supple which makes them very comfortable. I am able to use it on my room concentrator as well as on my Inogen One portable concentrator, although it does have a tendency to pop off with the slightest pull (on the Inogen). Difficult to get the "loops" out of the entire length (from being wound up in the packaging) which makes it a slight negative on the room concentrator but funny enough is a positive on my portable unit because it makes it easier to wind it up and attach it to the unit so it is not dragging and won't get caught on something. I will purchase this again!

No more nose bleeds! Ends that go into nostrils are soft, comfortable and long enough where I generaly do not have any issues at night as with others I've had. I have been using this item for many years now. No complaints. I pay out of pocket for them. My Insurance equipment suppliers do not offer them to me...I use to get nose bleeds from others. It is rare that this happens now. That you Medline!

EDIT to below: I cut off the flared end and it fits great!!!! Then, Amazon put it as a Black Friday deal and I bought 50 more ... for the future. YEAH... So super soft.*******I LOVE the softness of the cannula. However, where it plugs into my Inogen, isn't a great fit. It pops off the connector very easily. Reading the comments, I've seen where some have cut off the large flared portion and then it fits the connector on the Inogen. I'm going to try that this weekend. I'm hopeful, because this is a box of 50!

First I must say I don't use a cannula so I can only tell you how my petite wife simply LOVED this product. The cannulas supplied by the Oxygen company are perhaps not a single star compared to these. I was a little put off at first sight as the connector end was huge, approx 3/4" but fits snuggly on a standard 1/4" tubing connector and on the air spigot of her Oxygen tanks. Actually it makes connecting and disconnecting a little easier. These are her comments about this product:It is light weight, hardly noticeable compared to the other brandIt does not feel like a coat hanger wrapped around her smaller ears.It feels more comfortable when sleeping. (not like laying on a "brick" to hurt her ears and cheeks)It is less in her line of sight as the tubing across her cheek bones is much smaller and therefore less visableThe nasel projections are about 1/2" and slightly curved so it is not resting on, and irritating her nasel passage.They smell a little of plastic and she connects it to a bubbler with 1 or 2 drops of peppermint in the water to rid the scent,From my perspective it is a heck of a deal. 71 cents each delivered to my door. She is delighted so I am delighted.Would I buy these again? Absolutely.
