PRODUCT INFORMATION

What is the MED-TAC Nasal Cannula Oxygen Tubing? The MED-TAC Nasal Cannula Oxygen Tubing (SKU: MEDTAC1109) is a 7-foot straight-tip nasal cannula for low-to-moderate supplemental oxygen delivery in spontaneously breathing patients. Connects to any CGA870 oxygen regulator including the MED-TAC Mini O2 Regulator. Delivers approximately 24–44% FiO2 at 1–6 LPM — appropriate for mild to moderate hypoxia, chronic respiratory conditions, and post-procedure oxygen supplementation. Single-use, disposable.

Product Overview

The nasal cannula is the most patient-comfortable supplemental oxygen delivery device for ambulatory and semi-ambulatory patients. Unlike a face mask, the cannula does not restrict speaking, eating, or clear airway assessment. At 1–6 LPM oxygen flow, it delivers a clinically useful range of 24–44% FiO2 — adequate for mild to moderate hypoxia in patients whose primary issue is supplemental oxygen requirement rather than acute respiratory failure.

The 7 ft tubing length provides sufficient reach to connect to a portable oxygen cylinder while maintaining patient mobility and positioning flexibility in pre-hospital settings. Pair with the Mini O2 Regulator and Size D Oxygen Cylinder for a complete portable low-flow oxygen delivery system. For patients requiring higher-concentration oxygen, transition to a Non-Rebreather Mask. See the full airway management collection.

All products sourced from the actual brand manufacturer or authorized master distributors. CoTCCC recommendation status verified where applicable. Ships from MED-TAC International, Pembroke Pines, FL — clinician-founded, veteran-led, SDVOSB-certified.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much oxygen does a nasal cannula deliver?

A nasal cannula delivers approximately 24–44% FiO2 (fraction of inspired oxygen) at flow rates of 1–6 LPM. Each liter per minute of oxygen flow increases FiO2 by approximately 4%: 1 LPM = ~24%, 2 LPM = ~28%, 3 LPM = ~32%, 4 LPM = ~36%, 5 LPM = ~40%, 6 LPM = ~44%. This is appropriate for mild to moderate hypoxia. For severe hypoxia requiring higher FiO2 (>50%), upgrade to a non-rebreather mask.

Can I use the nasal cannula with the MED-TAC Mini O2 Regulator?

Yes. The MED-TAC Nasal Cannula (MEDTAC1109) is compatible with the MED-TAC Mini O2 Regulator (MEDTAC1110), which fits any tank with a CGA870 fitting including the MED-TAC Size D Oxygen Cylinder. The regulator's flow rate is adjustable from 0–15 LPM, providing appropriate flow for nasal cannula use (1–6 LPM) as well as higher flows for a non-rebreather mask (10–15 LPM).

What is the difference between a nasal cannula and a non-rebreather mask?

A nasal cannula delivers 24–44% FiO2 at 1–6 LPM and is comfortable for ambulatory patients; it allows speaking, eating, and clear airway assessment without removing the device. A non-rebreather mask delivers 60–80% FiO2 at 10–15 LPM and is used for patients requiring high-concentration oxygen. The cannula is the first-choice device for mild to moderate hypoxia; the NRB is used when maximum non-invasive oxygen delivery is required.

At what flow rate should I run a nasal cannula?

Flow rates above 6 LPM through a nasal cannula are not recommended — at higher flows, the cannula does not increase FiO2 meaningfully but does cause nasal mucosal drying and patient discomfort. For flows above 6 LPM, switch to a simple face mask or non-rebreather mask. Standard clinical starting points: SpO2 below 94% with mild distress — start 2–4 LPM nasal cannula and titrate to target SpO2 ≥94%.

Is this nasal cannula single-use?

Yes. The MED-TAC Nasal Cannula Oxygen Tubing is a single-use disposable device. Reusing nasal cannulas between patients is a significant infection control risk and is contraindicated in clinical practice. Each patient encounter should use a fresh, individually packaged cannula. The disposable design also ensures the cannula's material integrity is maintained for consistent and safe oxygen delivery.
