Abstract
An oxygen hose system for protecting an oxygen hose from tangling and abrasion includes an oxygen hose that is fluidly coupled to an oxygen source for supplying breathing oxygen to a patient. A sleeve is provided and the sleeve is positionable around the oxygen hose. The sleeve is comprised of a resilient material to inhibit the oxygen hose from being chewed by a domesticated animal. Additionally, the sleeve is comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating the oxygen hose to be routed in various directions.
Claims7
An oxygen hose system having enhanced durability and resistance to tangles, said system comprising:
- an oxygen hose being configured to be fluidly coupled to an oxygen source for supplying breathing oxygen to a patient;
- and
- a sleeve being positionable around said oxygen hose, said sleeve being comprised of a resilient material wherein said sleeve is configured to inhibit said oxygen hose from being chewed by a domesticated animal, said sleeve being comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating said oxygen hose to be routed in various directions.
An oxygen hose system having enhanced durability and resistance to tangles, said system comprising:
- an oxygen hose being configured to be fluidly coupled to an oxygen source for supplying breathing oxygen to a patient;
- and
- a sleeve being positionable around said oxygen hose, said sleeve being comprised of a resilient material wherein said sleeve is configured to inhibit said oxygen hose from being chewed by a domesticated animal, said sleeve being comprised of a flexible material thereby facilitating said oxygen hose to be routed in various directions, said sleeve having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said sleeve being elongated between said first end and said second end, said outer wall having a plurality of ridges extending outwardly therefrom, each of said ridges extending around a full circumference of said outer wall, said ridges being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first end and said second end, said outer wall having a cut extending between said first end and said second end, said cut being spreadable open to facilitate said sleeve to be positioned around said oxygen hose.
A method is protecting an oxygen hose from tangles and from abrasion, the steps of the method comprising:
- providing an oxygen hose being configured to be fluidly coupled to an oxygen source for supplying oxygen for breathing;
- providing a sleeve having a first end and a second end, said sleeve being comprised of a resilient material, said sleeve having a cut extending between said first end and said second end;
- spreading said cut open;
- and
- positioning said sleeve around said oxygen hose having said oxygen hose extending outwardly through said first end and said second end.
