What Is a Breathing Air Hose?
A breathing air hose is a tube-shaped conduit used for purposes such as supplying oxygen and providing ventilation.
In medical settings, it is employed during situations such as surgeries or when a patient has respiratory impairments. It assists in maintaining normal respiration by supplying oxygen or air from an external source. Breathing air hoses used in medical applications must be constructed from medical-grade materials, ensuring flexibility and durability.
Additionally, these hoses find applications in environments with hazardous conditions. They are connected to oxygen supply devices and full-face masks to prevent inhalation of harmful substances, supplying oxygen to individuals working in hazardous environments. Breathing air hoses used in such workplaces must comply with the requirements of the European standard “Personal Protective Equipment Regulation (EU) 2016/425.”
