Oxygen Flow Rate Splitter

The text demonstrates a method for fitting Nasal Cannulas using an Oxygen Flow Splitter. First, the threaded end of the cannula is connected to the splitter's square slide, which is then pushed onto the barb. This process is repeated for both sides. The slides are forced past the closed position on the carriage, allowing the fitment of the splitter to the oxygen regulator. By adjusting the slides, you can control flow rates according to patient needs via embossed numbers. The system ranges from full open to full closed in 1-liter minute increments and ensures no leakage due to continuous tubing. The design is compact (137mm x 140mm x 33mm) and lightweight (60g) as it can be 3D printed, with the main carriage body hollowed out for reduced print time, weight, and cost.
