Project Description

An oxygen cylinder is a medical device used to store and deliver oxygen to individuals who need supplemental oxygen due to respiratory conditions. These cylinders are essential for patients who have difficulty breathing on their own.

Key features include:
  • Compressed oxygen: Stored in high-pressure cylinders, providing a source of pure oxygen.
  • Portable: Available in various sizes, making them convenient for home use or on-the-go support.
  • Materials: Typically made from steel or aluminum, with aluminum being lighter and easier to transport.
  • Delivery methods: Oxygen is administered through a mask, nasal cannula, or rebreather.

Oxygen cylinders are crucial for medical breathing therapy, ensuring patients receive the necessary oxygen to maintain their health
