Executive Product Overview
The McKesson Adult Straight Nasal Cannula with Ear Cushion Set and 7' Clear Supply Tubing (Manufacturer MPN #32649) is a specialized, medical-grade low-flow oxygen delivery system engineered for hospitals, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing wards, and home medical equipment (HME) provider fleets. Designed specifically for patients requiring extended or continuous oxygen therapy, this set combines standard straight nasal prongs with soft, pre-attached ear cushions to prevent ear friction, pressure sores, and skin breakdown behind the ears.
Each set features a non-sterile, single-patient use design connected to 7 feet (2.1 meters) of clear supply tubing equipped with a standard connector. Built with a 3-channel inner lumen architecture, the crush-resistant tubing ensures an uninterrupted flow of medical oxygen even if the line becomes accidentally creased, folded, or compressed under furniture. Manufactured completely without natural rubber latex and certified Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant, each cannula set in this wholesale bulk case of 25 is individually packaged to support sanitary inventory control across clinical departments.
Key Technical & Operational Features
- Pre-Attached Ear Cushion Set: Soft foam ear guards cushion the tubing where it rests over the ears, dramatically reducing contact friction and tissue ulceration during long-term wear.
- Straight Prong Tip Geometry: Classic straight prongs direct low-flow medical oxygen straight into the nasal cavity for consistent, uninhibited delivery.
- Clear Medical-Grade Supply Tubing: Discrete, transparent tubing provides a clean clinical appearance preferred in both residential and acute care settings.
- Crush-Resistant 3-Channel Inner Lumen: Multi-channel internal safety geometry maintains continuous gas flow even if the 7-foot line is tightly kinked or compressed.
- Standard Push-On End Connector: Flexible end fitting interfaces seamlessly with standard medical flowmeters, oxygen concentrators, and cylinder regulators.
- Trade Agreement Act (TAA) Compliant: Fully compliant with federal procurement standards for government, VA, and institutional purchasing protocols.
- 100% Latex-Free & Non-Sterile: Manufactured entirely without natural rubber latex to eliminate Type I allergen risks across sensitive patient populations.
