People today are doubting if oxygen concentrators are still necessary. Hasn’t COVID-19 calmed down? You might be surprised at what you find out. 

Breathing seems like a trivial, everyday act, something you take for granted. But if you can’t breathe properly, it is the only thing on your mind. The advent of Corona made this abundantly clear. Because COVID-19 is a respiratory disease that affects our lungs and sometimes causes oxygen levels to drop dangerously, we as a society realized how significant and not trivial breathing really is.

In situations where oxygen levels are reduced, you may need oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy raises oxygen levels to clinically acceptable levels. Corona showed us just how important this process really is for people who need it. An essential tool for oxygen therapy is oxygen concentrators. Atmospheric air is made up of roughly 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. For people struggling to breathe, they need more oxygen than what is naturally in the air. Oxygen concentrators work by increasing oxygen concentration and filtering out nitrogen. Although there are other devices that do similar things, oxygen concentrators are unique in that they work 24/7 without needing to be refilled.

But wait- why are we even talking about this? Hasn’t COVID-19 calmed down? How necessary are oxygen concentrators and oxygen concentrator manufacturers nowadays? Why is there still a widespread need for these products? 

Unfortunately, the idea that COVID-19 is a thing of the past is simply not true. In fact, the Delta variant is more than 2x as contagious as previous variants, according to the CDC.  It causes more infections and spreads faster than early forms of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The CDC even goes so far as to say that the Delta variant is one of the most infectious respiratory diseases known. This means that oxygen concentrators may be more necessary than ever before.

Although some seem to think that oxygen concentrators might not be as necessary as they used to be, we know the opposite to be true. We provide an advanced oxygen therapy solution for this exact reason. Not only do we make sure you have the solution you need, but we make sure that our products are kept to the highest of standards. Our Oxytec-5S is lightweight, quiet, reliable, and user-friendly. We also place an emphasis on safety, making sure that there are power failure alarms and advanced monitoring capabilities. We know that quality is of the utmost importance, and we know that you do too.

We hope every variant of Corona will be over soon, all of us going back to our maskless lives quickly. When that day comes, we’ll celebrate together. But even if there were no such thing at all as COVID-19, oxygen concentrators would still be needed. Because the need to breathe always exists, no matter if Corona is around or not. If there ever comes a time you need advanced oxygen therapy, you know where to go. We at Chaban are leaders amongst Israeli medical device companies and will supply you with what you need.
