Portable oxygen concentrators were made for those who want or need to be able to leave home while still receiving the oxygen therapy they need. However, some portable oxygen concentrators do make it easier for you to get around, either because they have better battery power, or they can still deliver a higher flow of oxygen, while being smaller than previous models.

Portable oxygen concentrators are making it easier for oxygen therapy users to be active. They’re a huge leap forward, when previously their only logical alternative for leaving home while receiving oxygen, was with oxygen tanks. With oxygen concentrators, however, you’re saving money in the long run. Instead of having oxygen refills delivered to your door step, the oxygen is taken from the air around you. Why order oxygen when you can just use the abundance that is already in the air?

Some of the best oxygen concentrators for people on the go, are some of the smallest, which can deliver medical grade oxygen at a high purity, with great battery life. Here are some of the smallest that fit into that criteria. As long as the oxygen settings put out enough to meet your oxygen needs, these will be perfect to add to your active lifestyle.
