How Do You Deal With Twisted And Pinched Air Hoses?
Mine keeps getting all twisted. I'm only on oxygen at night. Keep the compressor in the other room. The hot keeps twisting and eventually causes a pinch or fold. I straighten it out every couple days. This is the first hose, only 6 months old.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it time for a new hose already?
I always wind it from the machine towards me. I also buy my 50-foot purple kink-resistant tube from Amazon. it only about six bucks and works great. You will love this tube.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member if you go to Amazon and search purple oxygen tube it should pop up. The tube is kink-resistant and works well. Picture below. It also comes in a 50 foot roll.
Get a bunch of 7-foot hoses and swivel connectors to connect them together to whatever length you want. The smaller lengths are then easier to straighten out than a long 50-foot hose.
You should replace hoses and cannula atleast every Two Weeks.
I throw mine in the dryer when I first opened the package for about ten minutes it straightened the hose out and makes it more soft. Good luck with yours! I didn’t know about the purple hose at amazon. That sounds great also. Hope you have a breathe easy day!
