Westmed Super Soft Nasal Cannula 7' TUBING - 0556 - Case of 50

There is a strong plastic smell when you open the bag, otherwise, I would give it 5 stars. I just open the bags and let them air out, it takes about 2 weeks for the smell to go away but the comfort of nasal cannula is worth it.

After my wife suffered for a year with creases and discomfort from medical insurance provided "hypoallergenic" Cannulas of manufacturers like Salter Labs and MedLife, I decided to do some research on the internet and found the Westmed "super soft" variety and their claims of "certified frustration-free". Even though I witness it, I cannot fathom the heartburn of being tied to a 50 foot leach attached to my nose and ears permanently. All the other brands of cannula are stiff and hard, stubbornly retain the circular bending from their packaging, and remind you of their ever presence with grooves along the cheeks from sleeping on them with the softest of pillows. When the red marks start showing up, you are certainly on the way to ulcerations and other maladies pictured on the internet. So, if you must, abandon the measly copay to your insurance and buy a box of these amounting to much less than a dollar a piece.Bottom line: the Westmed Super Soft Cannula does pretty much everything it purports to. It IS super soft and highly flexible (the part which is contact with your face) tubing, though you will still get slight creases from sleeping on them, I don't think it is possible not to, but the pain is absent and the creases are very minimal. The non-facial tubing is comparable to other products though slightly more flexible and forgiving; if you stretch it, the tubing will lose some of that curvature retention. The box, incidentally, which the 50 came in, was well packed and sturdy; went through all 50 eyeballing them for glaring imperfections (kinks, nasal prongs mounted crooked, etc) and found none. These actually come from a third party Amazon vendor as an Amazon Fulfillment client, and they came within the specified time (2 day shipping with Amazon Prime) with a thank you note and an invoice.These are a Must-Have for patients on oxygen concentrators, it is too bad that most every other manufacturer has to produce cheap facial assault lassos!

I ordered 50 of these unfortunatly. They say soft but they are not. Only the part you put in your nose is soft and even that part is hard after one use.I've ordered others that are a the part of the canula that goes around you neck and face and nose are VERY soft. These are not. Very disappointed.

These Westmed Super Soft Nasal Cannulas are the ONLY ones I will use any more. I can get regular cannulas free from my DEM that supplies my oxygen, but they are the cheap plasticy hard ones, and i can't handle them. They hurt my nose, they hurt my ears and they sent me to the hospital ER TWICE for nosebleeds that wouldn't stop.The Westmed Super Soft Nasal Cannula on the other hand has a super soft and slightly stretchy band that goes around the ears and a soft cannula part that goes in the nostril itself. They've never irritated my ears. I have to replace the about once every other week or so, unless my parrot chews through one, which does happen sometimes!These are by far the absolute most comfortable cannulas you can buy that I know of.If you have to use them, these are the ones to buy!

THIS WAS SERPRIZING BUT I WANTED NASAL TO BE AS SOFT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET BOTH I USE TO GET THE NASAL SOFT ONLY IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE BOTH TOGETHER I HAVE BEEN HAPPY WITH THIS TYPE

I've been using supplemental oxygen for about 15 years now. These are the FIRST cannulas I've ever worn that were actually comfortable!!! They are so soft and lightweight that I don't even know I'm wearing it. Even better, no deep grooves across my face from the pressure of the cannula!!When ordering new cannulas, I really hesitated about trying these, but I'm mighty glad I did. I'm extremely pleased. My husband's very happy because he no longer has to keep checking to see that my cannula is in place (I tend to pull the old ones off my face while I'm sleeping because they're so uncomfortable on my face and behind my ears). This makes us both much happier and I sleep better because I actually get the oxygen I need at night.Strongly recommend these to anyone who has to have supplemental oxygen!!!

This is a nice cannula as it is soft on the ears, howeverThe nose prongs are too long and can become uncomfortable.Must change often as the nose piece becoms very hard and pokes the inside of the nose after a weeks wear.

Initial impression was poor - unpleasant hydrocarbon odor, which wore off after a few uses. Solution is to open the sealed package and let it air out for several days, odor if any will rapidly go away. Plastic stays soft and comfortable for a long time.
