Portable Oxygen Concentrators

About

We carry portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) built for travel and everyday use outside the home. Every unit here runs on rechargeable battery power, so you can stay active, fly, and keep your routine without being tied to a wall outlet. For home-based, continuous-flow systems, see our stationary oxygen concentrators . Looking for the full oxygen therapy range instead? Browse all oxygen therapy devices . Portable vs. stationary oxygen concentrators Portable units are designed to move with you: they run on battery, weigh only a few pounds, and are built for pulse-dose delivery, which releases oxygen only when you inhale to conserve battery life. Stationary concentrators plug into a wall outlet, deliver continuous flow, and are built for use at home or bedside. Many people use a portable unit during the day and a stationary unit overnight or at home. Here is a quick side-by-side comparison. Portable: runs on a rechargeable battery, typically 3 to 10 lb, mostly pulse-dose delivery, and FAA-accepted for flying. Best for travel, errands, and active days. Stationary: plugs into a wall outlet, larger and built to stay in place, delivers continuous flow. Best for home use, overnight, and bedside. How do I choose a portable oxygen concentrator? Pulse dose or continuous flow Pulse-dose delivery senses each breath and releases oxygen on inhale, which extends battery life and suits most active, on-the-go use. Continuous-flow delivery provides a steady stream of oxygen regardless of breathing pattern, which some prescriptions require, particularly for sleep or higher-need use. Your prescription will specify which delivery method and flow setting you need. Flow rate (LPM) Flow rate is measured in liters per minute (LPM) and determines how much oxygen a unit can deliver. Your prescribing physician will specify the flow setting you need; compare each product page for its maximum LPM output before choosing a model. Weight and battery life Portable units generally weigh between 3 and
