The new respiratory solutions include a lightweight oxygen delivery system and expanded airway management tools for neonatal and pediatric patients.
RT’s Three Key Takeaways:
- Portable Oxygen Therapy: The new Resp-O₂ Portable Oxygen Concentrator weighs 5 pounds and offers adjustable flow settings from 1 to 6 liters per minute to support patient mobility.
- Pediatric Airway Management: The company expanded its closed suction catheter line with new infant- and pediatric-sized models designed to maintain continuous ventilation during suctioning.
- Clinical Safety Features: The new catheters include color-coded depth markers and lockable thumb control valves to assist clinicians with accurate placement and prevent accidental suctioning.
Dynarex Corp launched a new Resp-O₂ Portable Oxygen Concentrator and a new line of infant- and pediatric-sized closed suction catheters, according to the company. The additions are designed to support oxygen therapy, patient mobility, and continuous ventilation across various healthcare settings.
The Resp-O₂ Portable Oxygen Concentrator is a lightweight, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)-compliant oxygen delivery system engineered for supplemental oxygen in a compact format. Designed for 24/7 operation, the concentrator delivers a 90% oxygen concentration with adjustable flow settings from 1 to 6 liters per minute.
The device weighs 5 pounds and includes visual and audible alarms for power disruptions, changes in oxygen purity, and lack of breath detection. It offers multiple power options, including AC/DC capability and a high-capacity battery.
“Many oxygen users want the freedom to travel, work, and remain active without sacrificing access to oxygen therapy,” said Shauna Winston, RRT, RCP, category manager at Dynarex, in a news release. “The Resp-O₂ Portable Oxygen Concentrator combines dependable oxygen delivery with a lightweight, travel-ready design that supports greater mobility and independence.”
Dynarex also expanded its respiratory offering with new closed suction catheters sized for infants and pediatric patients. These include tracheostomy and endotracheal models in elbow and Y-adapter designs that integrate with ventilator circuits while maintaining a closed system.
According to the company, the catheters support uninterrupted ventilation during suctioning to help reduce infection risk and maintain consistent oxygen delivery. Additional features include color-coded depth markers for accurate catheter placement, flexible tubing, lavage ports, and lockable thumb control valves to help prevent accidental suctioning.
“Infant and pediatric airway management presents unique challenges that require appropriately sized solutions,” said Winston, in a news release. “These additions expand the options available to clinicians while maintaining the benefits of continuous ventilation and a closed suction system.”
The Resp-O₂ Portable Oxygen Concentrator and the expanded catheter line are available through the Dynarex national distribution network.
