Both deliver supplemental oxygen, but they suit different needs.
Oxygen concentrators
A concentrator pulls oxygen from room air, so it never runs out as long as it has power. It is ideal for continuous, long-term home therapy and works out cheaper over time.
Oxygen cylinders
Cylinders store a fixed amount of compressed oxygen. They need no electricity, making them essential for power outages, transport and emergencies — but they must be refilled.
Which should you choose?
Many households keep both: a concentrator for daily use and a cylinder as backup. Talk to us about the right setup for your patient.
