retractable tubing device for long tubing on an oxygen concentrator
Has anyone used a retractable tubing device for long tubing connected to their oxygen machine, so that I do not trip over it?

Hi caarmela. I haven't heard of this retractable device. I see where that might be helpful but also realize that a device like that has the potential for crimping your tubing as well. If you don't get much feedback from our community members on this, I would bring this question up at the next OxyTalk session. Kandy have you heard of a retractable oxygen tubing device? John Linnell you?

I have not heard of it either.
I asked one of our Coaches about retractable tubing devices, here is one from their search in the link below. In reviewing, I see that we have had this conversation come up on our COPD360social community over the years as well. I hope this gives you a starting point to seeing what may be available:
