Oxygen Tubing Connector (Reusable)
The reusable oxygen tubing connector is a rigid inline respiratory fitting used to join oxygen delivery tubing and maintain a secure gas pathway. It supports oxygen line extension, branching, and device coupling in respiratory therapy, intensive care, emergency medicine, anesthesia, and home oxygen therapy.
Product Description
Key Features and Capabilities
- Dual barbed ends provide a tight grip on standard oxygen tubing and reduce accidental disconnection under gas flow.
- Cylindrical central body creates a stable inline junction for oxygen tubing extension and adapter coupling.
- Medical-grade plastic construction uses transparent or translucent polymer for visual inspection of the flow path and connector seating.
- Reusable design supports repeated cleaning and reprocessing in clinical oxygen delivery circuits.
Clinical Applications
This connector is used in oxygen therapy circuits for adult and pediatric respiratory support, including nasal cannula oxygen, simple mask oxygen, and nebulizer setups. It also supports ICU oxygen delivery, emergency resuscitation circuits, anesthesia oxygen lines, and ward-based respiratory therapy. In radiology and imaging suites, it supports patient oxygen supplementation during CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, and interventional procedures where oxygen tubing must be extended or adapted.
Technical Specifications and Highlights
The fitting is a small, lightweight, rigid plastic connector with standardized barbed ends for standard oxygen tubing. It requires no power, no cooling, and no installation beyond direct tubing insertion.
Recommended Settings and Environments
This connector is used in hospital respiratory therapy departments, emergency rooms, intensive care units, anesthesia work areas, outpatient clinics, and home oxygen setups. It also supports imaging departments where supplemental oxygen delivery is needed during patient positioning and monitored procedures.
Summary
The reusable oxygen tubing connector provides a simple, durable junction for oxygen delivery tubing in clinical and imaging-related care environments. It is available through MedPrax Market.

| Detailed Specs | The reusable oxygen tubing connector is a small but critical respiratory therapy accessory used to create secure, airtight junctions between sections of oxygen delivery tubing and between tubing and clinical devices such as flow meters, humidifier bottles, nebulizers, nasal cannulae, and oxygen masks. Available in multiple configurations—straight (inline) connectors for extending tubing length, Y-connectors for splitting a single line into two patient delivery channels, T-connectors for branching with a capped port, and stepped Christmas tree (barbed) adapters for coupling tubing of different internal diameters—each fitting is engineered with tapered, ribbed barbs that grip the tubing inner wall, preventing disconnection under positive-pressure gas flow. Manufactured from medical-grade polycarbonate, polypropylene, or nylon, the connectors are transparent for visual flow confirmation, chemically resistant to cleaning agents, and autoclavable for repeated use. Dimensional standardization ensures compatibility with standard-bore (5–7 mm ID) oxygen delivery tubing used across hospitals, clinics, ambulatory care centers, and home oxygen therapy setups. |

Manual Nasal Aspirator (Bulb Type)
A soft, compressible rubber or silicone bulb with a tapered nasal tip used to suction excess mucus from the nares of infants and young children who are unable to clear their nasal passages independently. The caregiver compresses the bulb, gently inserts the tip into the nostril, and slowly releases to create negative pressure that aspirates the nasal secretions.
Manual Ear Syringe (Bulb Type)
A rubber or silicone bulb syringe with a smooth, flanged ear tip designed for the gentle irrigation of the external auditory canal with warm water or saline solution to remove impacted cerumen (earwax). The bulb generates a controlled stream of irrigating fluid when compressed, and the flanged tip prevents excessive insertion depth, reducing the risk of tympanic membrane injury.
Irrigation Syringe (Reusable)
A large-volume, piston-type syringe—typically 50 mL to 100 mL capacity—with a catheter-tip or bulb-tip nozzle, used for wound irrigation, bladder irrigation, and enteral feeding bolus delivery. Constructed from autoclavable polypropylene or stainless steel, the reusable irrigation syringe generates a controlled, adjustable stream of irrigating fluid to cleanse wounds, lavage body cavities, and flush drainage tubes.
Patient Identification Band
A disposable wristband applied to every admitted patient for the purpose of accurate identity verification throughout the hospital stay. The band displays critical identifying information including the patient's name, date of birth, medical record number, and barcode or QR code for electronic health record integration. It is made from soft, hypoallergenic, waterproof material that remains securely fastened without causing skin irritation.
