Oxygen Regulator

An oxygen regulator is a medical device used to control and reduce the high pressure of oxygen coming from a cylinder so it can be safely delivered to a patient. What it does Reduces cylinder pressure (often 200 bar) to usable pressure Controls oxygen flow rate (usually in L/min) Ensures safe, steady oxygen delivery Main parts Pressure gauge – shows how much oxygen is left in the cylinder Flowmeter – lets you set the oxygen flow (e.g. 2, 5, 10 L/min) Inlet connection – connects to the oxygen cylinder Outlet nozzle – connects to oxygen tubing / humidifier bottle Common types Single-gauge regulator – shows cylinder pressure only Double-gauge regulator – shows cylinder pressure + outlet pressure Top flow / sideflow
