Teleflex Softech Nasal Cannulas

For anyone on supplemental oxygen, the cannula is the part worn against the face for hours at a time — so softness, prong shape, and tubing length matter as much as flow performance. The Teleflex Softech line, including Hudson RCI models, is built around an over-the-ear design and pliable vinyl that reduces pressure on the cheeks, ears, and nostrils during extended continuous-flow therapy.

The collection covers the practical decisions most buyers weigh. Prong style is one: the straight, flared-tip prongs on models like the clear 1822 and 1820 direct oxygen efficiently and resist slipping out, while the Hudson RCI Plus (1870) uses curved, non-flared prongs in green for patients who prefer a softer nostril contour. Flow rate is another — Softech offers both low-flow adult cannulas and high-flow options, so you can match the cannula to a prescribed liter-per-minute range rather than forcing one product to do everything.

Tubing length is where this range is unusually deep. Short 4-foot star lumen tubing (1827) keeps things tidy for stationary or bedside use, while 25-foot (1824) and 50-foot (1825) lengths let users move freely through a room or home without dragging a concentrator behind them. All tubing options are kink-resistant, which prevents the flow interruptions that plague cheaper cannulas. If you already have a supply run, the 1821 ships as a cannula without tubing so you can attach your existing line.

Sizing isn't only about adults — the Softech Infant Cannula (1828) with 7-foot tubing provides an appropriately scaled fit for pediatric oxygen delivery, which shouldn't be substituted with an adult cannula. All items are non-sterile and intended for continuous-flow delivery from a concentrator, compressed cylinder, or wall source.
