  Oxygen Dependent Man  

Millions are suffering from breathing insufficiency

Sleep apnea, COPD, Lung Cancer and Emphysema are just some of the conditions that cause a patient to become oxygen dependent. Many are unable to inhale the necessary amount of oxygen on their own, and must rely on a supplying machine. These apparatus, many times an oxygen tank or concentrator, are efficient in delivering oxygen to the patient, but are very large and potentially embarrassing to the patient.
