When it comes to ensuring reliable respiratory support at home, an oxygen concentrator has become one of the most essential medical devices in Pakistan. As more people learn about the benefits of oxygen therapy—whether for chronic illnesses, recovery from infections, or elderly care—the demand for high-quality, durable, and affordable oxygen concentrators continues to rise. At Raza Corporation, we understand how overwhelming it can feel to select the right device, especially when it involves the health and safety of your loved ones. This detailed guide is designed to help you make a confident and informed decision.
What Is an Oxygen Concentrator and How Does It Work?
An oxygen concentrator is a medical device used to deliver concentrated oxygen to individuals who have low oxygen levels in their blood. Unlike oxygen cylinders, which store oxygen in a limited amount, a concentrator works by pulling surrounding air, filtering out nitrogen, and releasing purified oxygen to the patient.
The machine operates continuously as long as it is connected to a power source, which makes it a cost-effective and convenient solution for long-term oxygen therapy. For many patients, especially those dealing with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD, asthma, heart failure, pneumonia, or post-COVID recovery, an oxygen concentrator provides a dependable supply of oxygen without the hassle of cylinder refills.
Why Oxygen Concentrators Are Becoming Essential in Pakistan
In recent years, Pakistan has seen a rising awareness of respiratory health. Factors such as increasing pollution levels, seasonal smog, rising rates of chronic illnesses, and the after-effects of viral infections have made home oxygen therapy more common than ever.
Families now want equipment that is:
Reliable
Safe
Easy to use
Energy-efficient
Affordable
This is exactly where Raza Corporation steps in—bringing quality medical equipment that supports patients with comfort and dignity. As an established provider of healthcare solutions, we have seen firsthand how the right oxygen concentrator can transform home care.
Types of Oxygen Concentrators Available
Before purchasing, it’s important to understand the two main types:
1. Home Oxygen Concentrators
These are larger, plug-in units designed for indoor use. They deliver high-liter oxygen output and are ideal for patients needing continuous therapy. Their features usually include:
Higher oxygen flow (up to 10 liters per minute)
Longer operational life
Lower cost compared to portable units
Easy-to-read LCD screens and safety alarms
2. Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC)
Portable models are designed for mobility and outdoor use. They offer freedom and independence for patients who want to travel or move freely. Key benefits include:
Lightweight design
Battery-operated functionality
Easy carry options
Pulse dose oxygen delivery
At Raza Corporation, we offer both categories to suit different patient needs and lifestyles.
Key Features to Look for When Buying an Oxygen Concentrator
Choosing the correct oxygen concentrator requires understanding a few important features. Here is what you should consider:
Oxygen Flow Rate
Flow rate is measured in liters per minute (LPM). A typical home concentrator provides 1–5 LPM, while advanced units may go up to 10 LPM. Your doctor will recommend the exact flow rate you need.
Oxygen Purity Level
High-quality concentrators deliver oxygen purity of 90–96%. Consistent purity is essential for effective therapy, especially for patients with serious respiratory challenges.
Noise Level
Some units can be loud, which becomes disturbing for patients using them for long hours. Modern concentrators offered by Raza Corporation are designed with low-noise technology, ensuring patient comfort.
Power Consumption
Look for an oxygen concentrator that is energy-efficient, especially given Pakistan’s electricity challenges. Efficient concentrators can help reduce operational costs significantly.
Portability
If the patient needs mobility or frequently travels, a portable oxygen concentrator is ideal.
Warranty & After-Sales Support
Always purchase from a reputable brand that offers warranty, maintenance support, and quick service. Raza Corporation is known for its friendly after-sales assistance and reliable service network.
