-- In its recently released guide, Main Clinic Supply explores the features of Inogen oxygenation devices, how they differ from traditional oxygen tanks, and whether they are suitable for patients of varying activity levels.

Consistently inadequate oxygen levels in the body, known medically as hypoxia, can result in cell death, brain injury, cardiac arrest, and organ dysfunction. While individuals with healthy airways, proper circulation, and effective breathing are at low risk for developing these symptoms, those with chronic lung disease or respiratory disorders, such as pulmonary fibrosis, severe asthma, pneumonia, and sleep apnea, may require oxygen therapy. In emergency settings, supplemental oxygen is usually administered by professional medical personnel and equipment, but for home usage, it must be carefully prescribed and delivered through the appropriate devices.
There are three types of oxygen therapy systems: compressed gas systems, liquid oxygen systems, and oxygen concentrators. Inogen devices fall under the third category - like all oxygen concentrators, they are battery-powered, portable, and draw air from the surrounding environment, ensuring that the user will never run out of oxygen. However, Main Clinic Supply’s guide says that the technology has additional features that may make it an attractive choice to individuals in need of oxygen therapy.
Inogen’s portable oxygen concentrator ensures that adequate oxygen is delivered to the lungs within the first 400 milliseconds of inspiration - a critical phase in breathing during which air enters the lungs and gas exchange occurs. Additionally, with built-in Intelligent Delivery Technology designed to respond to dynamic respiratory rates, the device will increase oxygen dosage during sleep, when respiration typically slows, promoting stable oxygenation even at rest; it will also adjust oxygen delivery to maintain healthy levels during physical activity.
Moreover, because Inogen oxygen concentrators adapt oxygen flows to the user’s respiratory rate, they have potentially longer runtimes than traditional oxygenators; lower oxygen flow consumes less battery life, improving the times between charging cycles. Main Clinic Supply notes that this will enable more mobility for patients, allowing for uninterrupted travel or physical activity throughout the day.
