Looking for a Liquid Oxygen Solution
Posted by John Weitner on December 13, 2022 at 7:14 amI’m in the St Petersburgh – Clearwater area of Florida – I have not been able to locate a provider of liquid oxygen. Lots of concentrators but these are not sufficient enough for me. Any sugeestions? Thanks

That’s the Holy Grail. It’s not available outside of medical facilities. If it were, every single one of us would have it. ????

Talk to your Pulmonologist, they can refer you, Matrix is out of plant city and is a provider.

John, I live in Seminole and Baycare has liquid oxygen. I have it for activity cause I need 6 plus LPM. I use a concentrator in the house and then have a large liquid tank they fill and I fill my own personal tanks.

I contacted Matrix and they do not offer liquid o2
I dont have a Pulmonologist here but have reached out to two locally and see if they respond.
I am a Canadian and in Canada I have the Caire tank and the hiflo Stroller. A company comes weekly to refill the tank. This is what I would like here.
someone passed on this article whch explains why liquid O2 is becoming a thing of the past here in the US..
