OxygenWorldwide Reveals Challenging Design of Medical Oxygen Vest, OxygenWorldwide releases
Alicante, Spain (PRWEB UK) 2 July 2013 -- OxygenWorldwide, marketleader in the medical oxygen travel branch for 20 years, challenges with its Medical Oxygen Vest (M.O.V.), a fast growing but rather conservative market when it comes to the design of portable oxygen equipment.
It shows that, in the past few years, a unilateral design/development of portable oxygen concentrators (POC’s) has taken place. The medical oxygen equipment industry has put its emphasis mainly on making the units smaller and lighter, says Rutger Berntsen, founder and marketing director of OxygenWorldwide. OxygenWorldwide is world's largest company that arranges medical oxygen for travellers in more than 100 countries and thousands of holiday destinations. Over the past 5-6 years, the market shifted from renting more traditional stationary oxygen equipment like cylinders, concentrators or liquid oxygen with a stroller to portable devices. Having clients travelling with these POCs every day, Berntsen and his colleagues were confronted with the various problems that arise using this particular equipment. Searching for a solution was a natural progression.
The Medical Oxygen Vest is a body warmer type of vest that contains the necessary equipment to provide medical oxygen to the wearer. The vest would be ideal for oxygen users who require a constant supply of medical oxygen and the life line of being able to be mobile and freely move around without the constraints of a more conventional oxygen device. The M.O.V is designed for e.g. young children or active sport users to give the ability to move around more freely such as going to play a game of golf or running around in the playground.
A portable oxygen concentrator (POC) is normally carried around by means of a shoulder strap. This is not convenient when one has to make movements beyond normal walking. The main advantage of the M.O.V. is that the weight of the equipment in the vest is equally divided over two sides located under the arm pits. The fact that the equipment is 'concealed' inside the vest could take away the burden of having to carry around a medical device, which to many medical oxygen users indicates the appearance that you are in fact a 'patient'. Flexible solar panels are placed on the chest and back of the vest to provide (at this stage) power to the display panel. To make the system fully operational, the batteries should (at this stage) be charged by plugging into a AC outlet.
