Star Lumen Oxygen Tubing

Star Lumen oxygen tubing from Teleflex is engineered to keep supplemental oxygen flowing even when the line gets bent, pinched, or crushed underfoot — a common failure point with ordinary tubing. The distinctive star-shaped inner channel is what sets it apart: while the outer wall stays smooth and comfortable against surfaces, the internal lumen holds its shape under compression, so a patient lying on the line or a caregiver stepping on it won't cut off delivery.

The tubing carried here is Teleflex's 1981 Star Lumen line in green, 25-foot lengths, made from flexible PVC with a 3 mm inner diameter. It ships non-sterile, which is standard for oxygen delivery tubing used to connect a concentrator, cylinder, or wall outlet to a nasal cannula. The 25-foot length gives patients room to move around a bedroom or living space without repositioning the oxygen source, and the green color is the recognized convention for oxygen lines in both home and clinical settings.

Buyers typically ask whether Star Lumen tubing is compatible with their existing setup — it uses standard oxygen fittings and connects to most cannulas and concentrators without adapters. It's also frequently chosen for durability in high-traffic environments like nursing homes and long-term care, where kink resistance directly reduces alarm events and interrupted therapy. For continuous-use patients, replacing tubing on a regular schedule helps maintain clean, unobstructed flow.

Star Lumen is one of several respiratory and care lines we stock. If you're comparing brands or building out a supply order, you may also want to look at Health Star, Five Star, and Golden Star for related products.
