Silicone Nasal Cannula is becoming more and more important. Respiratory system diseases are common and frequently-occurring diseases. According to the epidemiological survey of COPD in China, the adult prevalence rate is 10%, that is, there are about 100 million COPD patients in China, and the “morbidity rate, disability rate, and mortality rate” are increasing year by year.
The Value of Silicone Nasal Cannula
Oxygen inhalation will gradually become an important means of home care and patient rehabilitation. Especially in the post-epidemic era, ventilators have become more and more valuable. The nasal oxygen tube is an important part of the breathing circuit system of the oxygen inhaler, and its function is to deliver oxygen to the nasal cavity through the connected oxygen tube for the use of hypoxic patients.
Silicone nasal cannula, also known as silicone oxygen tube, is generally made of soft polyvinyl chloride or silicone. The component is composed of a bell mouth, a nose plug, a head ring, a tee, an adjustment button, a nasal catheter, a connecting catheter, and a two-way connection. The different types and structures, there are double nose type, head ring type (large, medium, and small), earring type (large, medium, and small), single nose type, pediatric type, and baby type. Since it is in direct contact with the human nostrils, comfort is an important indicator.
The old generation of nasal oxygen tubes generally use polyvinyl chloride (Polyvinyl chloride), which is abbreviated as PVC in English. The safety and health of its material is quite controversial. (As early as October 27, 2017, in the “Preliminary Reference for the List of Carcinogens” published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization, polyvinyl chloride has been listed in the list of 3 types of carcinogens.) The users of PVC nasal oxygen tubes are in During the experience, I often smell the smell of rubber and plastic from the PVC material. Some people are allergic to it and don’t like to smell that smell.
Pros of Silicone Nasal Cannula
The silicone nasal cannula products developed and manufactured by NEWTOP have the following advantages:
1. Material safety: high-purity food medical grade liquid silica gel is used, which is environmentally friendly, healthy, non-toxic, odorless, colorless, and transparent. It can pass the market access certification of China CFDA, EU RoHs, US FDA, Germany LFGB, and other countries.
2. The product has good biocompatibility: skin-friendly, non-allergic, and suitable for any sensitive skin.

Not only that, NEWTOP can also create the following value for customers:
1. Save development costs for customers. The use of silicone rubber solid-to-liquid technology greatly reduces the cost of mold opening. In the past, the general mold cost of liquid molds exceeded 15,000 US dollars per set. By switching to liquid-to-solid technology, the cost of molds can be reduced by about one time or more.
2. greatly reduce the development cycle. Development time can be shortened by about half that of liquid molds. Win valuable time for customers and seize market opportunities.
3. New project verification. The solid-to-liquid technology is also especially suitable for the verification of new projects whose structural design is not yet mature.
