Pediatric Oxygen Concepts (PO2C)
Improving Life on Oxygen, One Innovation at a Time.
Our Mission
Children are not small adults!
....Yet most products are developed for adults.
Our mission is to increase the quality of life of children living with oxygen
supplementation through innovative designs that are functional for
ALL developmental stages and lifestyles.
(Our belief is that by doing so, adult patients can use them too)
Infants on Oxygen have Unique problems not faced by adults!
Cannulas have to be taped on.
There are many types of tapes and cannula holders that adhere to the face to hold the cannula in place.
Cheeks get sore!
The tape leads to irritation of the fragile skin on the baby's cheeks and can lead to sores.
Fiddly fingers!
Infants and Toddlers are curious and pull on tubing.
Tubing gets tangled!
Tubing gets wrapped around the child, caught on furniture, and often gets tangled on itself.
Snotty noses!
Need I say more?
The Meltdowns!
Infants and toddlers are often scared or get angry when faced with having to wear a cannula or oxygen mask.
The OPOD system
The Overnight Pediatric Oxygen Delivery (OPOD) System is designed to deliver a consistent flow of oxygen to a sleeping child without the use of a nasal cannula Combined with real time monitoring and safety for peace of mind in both home and clinical settings.
