Oxygen Nasal Cannula cleaning and drying

Hi I have just started using Portable Oxygen and have washed the nasal cannula and hung it up to dry but it still has some water droplets that don't dry or drip out. What can I do? Many thanks in advance

Hi I don't know if I'm doing the right thing but I don't wash mine at all I wipe them a couple of times a day with an antiseptic wipe and change them about every 10 days. I've had no adverse effects from doing that.

You are welcome Handihaler. I'm interested to see what others do with their cannula. 😀

Hi

Change on regular basis, wipe the prongs daily with wet wipes.

Any water in tubing renders it useless.

Hi Hun, I change mine when I know to change,(7 to 10 days)) have 3 cannulas, in constant use. Bedroom, Lounge, Ambulatory. My Supplier,Air Liquide Deliver the next day. Don't rinse them, no need too. xxx

Should have said I wipe the prongs, always have Antibac Wipes. xxx

Hi Handihaler. I have occasionally managed to somehow get water in my oxygen tubing. If this happens I spin it around my head like a lassoo.

It usually works !
