About
Portable oxygen tanks are essential for individuals with respiratory conditions who require supplemental oxygen to maintain adequate oxygen levels during daily activities. These portable devices allow users to move freely while receiving the necessary oxygen support, which is particularly important for those with conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) or severe asthma.
These tanks are lightweight, compact, and designed to provide continuous or on-demand oxygen, depending on the user’s needs. They enable individuals to engage in work and social activities without being confined to home or requiring stationary oxygen supplies.
Costs and Funding
Portable oxygen tanks can range in price from $100 to over $1,000, depending on the brand and the type of oxygen delivery system (e.g., continuous flow or pulse dose).
Costs may be covered by health insurance, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), or other government programs that assist individuals with chronic health conditions.
