REPORT DESCRIPTION
Oxygen Conservation Devices Market – Overview
Oxygen conserving device (OCD) is a pressure reducing device designed to control the flow of oxygen
from the oxygen source to the patient. Oxygen conservation devices are used for the patients with severe
lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diffuse interstitial lung disease, cystic fibrosis
or hypoxia related symptoms, which requires long-term oxygen therapy to maintain a normal lifestyle.
According to the global asthma report by Global Asthma Network, 2014, asthma has affected around 334
million people so far and prevalence is rising continuously. This suggests the occurrence of severe asthma
cases in low and middle-income economies such as India and China. This device offers comfort and
increased mobility to the patients. The main aim of manufacturers is to develop efficient, portable, and less
intrusive oxygen conservation devices.
