Find portable oxygen concentrators, medical supplies at Freedom2Go

As you know, for 10 years Freedom2Go has been helping people with limited mobility get going again by helping them find the right mobility equipment, whether it be a scooter, wheelchair or walker. Another, often overlooked, mobility-limiting factor are oxygen tanks. Although effective in delivering oxygen therapy, these tanks of compressed air are bulky, heavy and need refills.Some individuals currently on oxygen therapy have the choice to switch to a portable oxygen concentrator (POC). The lightweight machines weight between 4-20 pounds, depending on the manufacturer and model. For some women the weight is comparable to the weight of their purse.Since portable oxygen concentrators work by taking in atmospheric air and filtering it, users are receiving unlimited oxygen, avoiding the hassle of refills. Through POCs users receive 92 percent or higher of concentrated oxygen. The absence of compressed oxygen makes POCs safer to handle, and as with any new technology, POCs are getting smaller and better.As a result of the improvements traveling with a POC is not only more convenient in a vehicle, but makes air travel possible for oxygen therapy patients. In a vehicle the POC unit takes up less space and the battery-operated unit comes with a car adapter, saving your battery.Recently the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved the use of portable oxygen concentrators in-flight, making air travel possible for individuals on oxygen therapy. For more details on policies and guidelines regarding POC usage in an aircraft, please check with the respective airlines.Freedom2Go also carries a large supply of other respiratory equipment and supplies, including trusted POC brand AirSep’s™ LifeStyle™ and FreeStyle™ models, CPAP and Bi-level equipment for individuals who have been diagnosed with sleep disorders, and nebulizers for those with several types of breathing difficulties.Freedom2Go’s staff of respiratory therapists – Karla Trout, CRT; Renae Roberts, CRT; and Jon Coleman,
