Product Information
AdvaCare is a CE, ISO and USFDA manufacturer and global supplier of Oxygen Masks. The StaySafe brand of Oxygen Masks are internationally distributed and recognized for reliable quality and exceptional value. With distribution across developed and developing markets alike, our products are uniquely positioned as the brand of choice for medical professionals.
The primary function of oxygen masks is to administer medication in conjunction with oxygen and asthma medication to the trachea and ultimately lungs of a patient. Oxygen masks come in two types; oral nasal masks, which as the name suggests covers the mouth and nose, and full face masks, which cover the entirety of the face.
To use an oxygen mask, authorization must be granted from the doctor, and normally is dispensed within a hospital or clinic.
The vast majority of oxygen masks are composed of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC. The cheapness and the fact that PVC is disposable is a large factor in its popularity. PVC is clear, which assists in alleviating patients who are prone to claustrophobia. The oxygen supply is attached through tubing, or contained in a bag which is attached to the mask itself. Oxygen is then transferred from the source of storage into the lungs.
There are 3 types of oxygen masks offered in the AdvaCare range; oxygen masks, nebulizer masks and Venturi masks.
Patients that require an oxygen mask undergo oxygen therapy. This is when the patient needs a higher intake of oxygen than what the surrounding environment permits. Conditions that may require the use of an oxygen mask include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiac failure, emergency operations, trauma, hypothermia and convulsions.
Patients may require the use of a nebulizer if liquid medication needs to be dispensed, and includes relievers and oxygen (if the patient has an oxygen deficiency) in aerosol droplet form, to facilitate medicine delivery. Aerosol is inhaled through the mask or mouthpiece, and takes approximately 7 minutes for the medicine to be inhaled entirely. Nebulizers are mainly used chronic conditions when the patient cannot breathe and is afflicted with a disease such as cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis, which inhibit normal breathing function.
Venturi masks (also referred to as air-entertainer masks) are used to dispense a pre-calculated concentration of oxygen into the trachea. They are mainly used during control oxygen therapy. The mechanism behind the Venturi mask is that 100% oxygen is fed through the mask, which induces a controlled amount of air to be drawn in.
Mask selection should be made based on the specific aspects of the procedure, to ensure the procedure is performed safely.
Product Series:
OXYGEN MASK
Oxygen masks involve the continuous deliverance of oxygen into the lungs.
- Used when patient requires more oxygen than is readily available from the environment;
- Conditions that may require the use of an oxygen mask include cystic fibrosis and COPD;
- These masks are normally composed of PVC.
NEBULIZER MASK
Nebulizer masks dispense liquid medication as well as oxygen.
- Oxygen in aerosol droplet form, to facilitate delivery;
- Used on patients that are affected with conditions that disrupt regular breathing, for example bronchiectasis.
VENTURI MASK
Venturi masks deliver a pre-calculated concentration of oxygen into the trachea.
- Primarily used in control oxygen therapy;
- 100% oxygen is fed through the mask which draws in a measured amount of air.

Benefits of Oxygen Masks:
- Variety of types, each one catering to the different needs of the patient, the patients illness(s) and the situation;
- Relatively inexpensive;
- Transparent plastic cover to ease claustrophobic patients and provide the medical examiner with the ability to assess the patients reaction to the treatment;
- Provides oxygen-deprived patients with oxygen to increase depleted levels;
- If the supply of oxygen is contained within a bag, the patient is able to breathe more deeply without wasting the oxygen or medication;
- PVC, the primary material that oxygen masks are made from, is readily available and inexpensive. Also disposable;
- Oxygen masks are water resistant and sturdy.
Usage:
In the regular oxygen mask, the oxygen supply is attached through tubing, or contained in a bag which is attached to the mask itself. Oxygen is then transferred from the source of storage into the lungs. The patient’s oxygen levels should begin to regain normal levels.
For nebulizer masks, liquid medication in conjunction with oxygen is administered to the patient. Oxygen is delivered in aerosol droplet form, to expedite delivery. The oxygen and medication is inhaled through the mouthpiece or mask. A standard dose of medicine will take approximately 7 minutes to be entirely inhaled.
In Venturi masks, a set concentration of oxygen is delivered into the trachea. This is achieved by pumping 100% oxygen through the mask, drawing in a controlled volume of air. Venturi masks can deliver up to 40% of oxygen.
Correct positioning of the oxygen mask must be ensured, as masks that are not positioned correctly may compromise their ability to deliver oxygen to a patient who is in a critical condition. Correct technique is essential to ensure the patients safety.
The correct type of oxygen mask must be used depending on the patient, their condition or disease and the situation. Using the incorrect mask may harm or even kill the patient.
It is imperative that the oxygen mask is not used if the packaging or seal is compromised. Evidence of this may suggest tampering or contamination. If one should come across masks inside comprised packaging, the correct course of action is to dispose of it quickly and safely.
Precautions:
- Must prepare the mask for use in a clean, sterile environment, absent of bodily fluids or other sources of contamination;
- Promptly and safely dispose of any masks that have touched a potentially contaminated surface;
- Correct material must be selected according to procedure – depending on the patient and their condition, a specific type of oxygen mask is required;
- Ensure mask is securely and correctly positioned. Poorly fitted masks may compromise their ability to deliver oxygen.
Materials:
Oxygen masks are manufactured using primary PVC as the main material. Transparent plastic is the material of choice for the tubing and some other parts of the mask.
