5 LPM (Liters Per Minute) oxygen concentrators are versatile devices that can provide a moderate flow of oxygen to individuals for various purposes. These machines are not only used for medical applications, but also for other purposes such as glassblowing, EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy), esthetic treatments, and dog breeding.
A prescription (Rx) is required only for medical use. No Rx is required for nonmedical use, including glassblowing, industrial use, and EWOT.
Glassblowers require a steady supply of oxygen to fuel their torches. 5 LPM oxygen concentrators provide a constant flow of oxygen for smaller torches and lighter bench work, and they're easy to move around the studio. Running a bigger torch or long sessions? Look at our 10 LPM concentrators.
EWOT means breathing concentrated oxygen through a mask while you exercise. A 5 LPM concentrator can handle lighter, shorter sessions. For longer or harder workouts, most people use a 10 LPM unit.
Most of the spas we work with use a 5 LPM concentrator as the oxygen source for oxygen facials. It matches the flow most facial sprayers and domes are built for, and the quietest models run at about 43 dB, so they're comfortable in the treatment room.
Dog breeders often use 5 LPM oxygen concentrators to provide oxygen to newborn puppies who may be experiencing respiratory distress. A 5 LPM unit can supply a steady flow of oxygen to a puppy incubator or oxygen box during whelping.
5 LPM oxygen concentrators are designed to be compact and energy-efficient, and they're easy to move around a home or studio. They are capable of delivering oxygen concentrations of up to 95%, and use advanced technology to filter out nitrogen and other impurities from the air, leaving concentrated oxygen for the user.
Overall, 5 LPM oxygen concentrators are an excellent choice for individuals who need a moderate amount of oxygen therapy or require an oxygen source for non-medical applications. They are easy to use and efficient, making them an ideal choice for those who want to maintain their independence and quality of life.
All five models provide continuous oxygen flow up to 5 LPM. Compare their size, weight, and features below. Each unit is inspected, cleaned, serviced as needed, and tested before shipment.
