This nasal oxygen cannula delivers low-flow oxygen through two soft prongs that sit in the nostrils. It is used for patients who are breathing spontaneously and need supplemental oxygen, and it leaves the mouth free so the patient can speak, eat and drink. It is supplied individually packed for single use and is available in adult, paediatric, infant and neonatal sizes.

Important Notes:
Single use only. Do not reuse or resterilise.
Do not use if the package is damaged or opened.
Select the size that matches the patient; oversized prongs can press on the nasal mucosa and cause irritation or pressure damage.
Set the flow rate according to the prescription. Nasal cannulas are intended for low-flow oxygen, typically 1 to 6 L/min.
Above about 4 L/min, consider humidification; dry gas at higher flows can irritate the nasal mucosa.
Check the prongs and tubing regularly for kinks, blockage or moisture.
Replace the cannula according to your facility's policy.
