Firesafe Nozzles minimise the known and well-documented risk of fire associated with oxygen therapy both in the hospital and the home. The Firesafe™ Nozzle can limit the impact of an oxygen fire by automatically arresting the oxygen flow. Acting like a fuse, it automatically isolates the oxygen supply providing the following potential benefits:
Slows the rate of a fire developing, therefore buying the patient and caregivers more time to evacuate
Prevents progression of the fire in the PVC tube to upstream equipment
Lowers the probability a fire will spread any further
Minimises the amount of structural damage and the cost of restoration
