I had been thinking a suction cup with a hook, like you hang things in windows with...then went looking on google.

Hope this page works. The answer is almost to the bottom.

The person who answered on the copd foundation said Beetle Clip.
Well, when I googled that I found a site Alibaba.com and the device called a curtain hook clip.
Would need some modifying to accommodate the tubing, or you could maybe even make one at home if you have an old name tag clip and some...uh...baling wire :) Probably a way to use duct tape as well ( I am just being silly now)
Good luck to you.

Oh why don't they have an edit button?

The guy with the answer is Michael R......down near the bottom. :)

Ask your oxygen company, there are these things, I can't remember what they are, but you attach them within the 50 foot tubing, so you don't get kinks in it.

I still got SOME kinks, but not as much. They are like little plastic things, that hook into tubing, like an extension piece.

They tell me you just have to stretch it out, and unravel the kinks, but I think someone would make a mint, if they came up with an idea, that got rid of kinks and the "wrap around" problem that we all have with moving around the house.

Hmmm...who wants to be an inventor??? LOL!!!

You need to ask your supplier. I usually use to green 50'er, but the last time they brought me a clear one because they run out. I have to say it does not kink. I threw the package away so I don't know the name, but there is one out there. I'll try to get the name for ya.

Boo, are you talking about the connector from the tube to the cannula? There is no connector within the 50 feet and that is where the kinking happens.

Hi, I was one that wasted money on the coiled tubing. It would be great for folks that only go a few feet from their chair or bed.
I have found the swivel connectors can make a lot of difference , but it is true you need to change out all the tubing at times, because they just get in bad shape.
I have been "brought up short" to many times, and it is either because the swivel connector gets hung on something, or the tubing is tying its self in knots.
I have learned as I walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, to coil the tube in my hand and "play " it out as I go. That works most times.
I will be watching for any ideas or inventions !!

I found the easiest thing for me is to just stay in bed with it!!!!!!!!!.......and that is exactly where I have been most of the last 3 days:(:(......and it sucks!!! (just saying)

Hope you can figure out a better solution............meanwhile, I will go back to bed.......LOL :)

I remember a while back someone was posting about getting tangled in the tubing and was trying to figure out something that works like suspending it from the ceiling. LOL.....I don't know if he ever figured it out but it was driving him crazy. I know it must be so frustrating when you don't have the breath and then to have to deal with kinks. Hope you find a solution. I just have a 7ft. cord by my bed and I get tangled in that at night. So I can't even imagine a 50 ft. cord. Good luck to you in finding a solution so you can move around better.

you can check this site out http://www.oxygenlinereel.com/ it's a little
expensive..if you do a google search for oxygen tubing reel and it will give you different sites to go to and a site for YouTube video on the reel. Good luck..

All I can add: Many of us face issues with our oxygen tubing. I have tripped; tangled; choked myself; etc. I hope you find a solution; so you can move about freely. Best wishes.

Debbear !! You need to get up honey, or at least roll over !!! lol Are you feeling sick again?
There are lots of ideas for reeling in tubing. I only know what works for me. If I have to go farther than my kitchen, like outside or something, I put a cylinder on my rollator and go.
Hope someone discovers "the answer". (Love you sister Bear, go back to sleep now )

i use 5-10 foot lengths with a swivel between each one and that works for me better than one long 50 footer.
when i'm just sitting in my chair or in bed at night it is easier to coil up what i'm not using.
i must admit tho; i am really bad about taking mine off to run to the bathroom or something & of course it's when i'm moving that my 02 drops the most.
i swear my dog thinks it's funny to follow behind me & step in my tubing to bring me to that abrupt stop i hate so much.
i don't know what a curtain hoop is--- my 02 wraps around my neck at night (yeah, i must roll all night LOL)---i found in the stationary section fo walmart or kmart the clips that go on plastic ID cards (they are real cheap & come with a bunch);
i found that the plastic loop fits perfect around my hose & then i clip it to my waistband so at least my tubing wraps around my waist at night (and easy to unclip for the potty runs :)
the clip isn't strong enough to hold though if my line gets caught up on something.
sherryb; that roll up thing looks kind of cool...have you ever tried it?
debib---i wish i could figure out a way to suspend mine to the ceiling! winter is coming and in the winter my line gets so much condensation that i can't use my humidifier bottle and that water trap thing they give me doesn't work on the canula part.(i never realized how COLD my floors get in the winter!!!).
good post...if anyone has any handy hints for making these things work better, please share :)

I simply gave up on long lengths of tubing. I use a 15' tube and a 7' cannula. It is just enough to reach from where I sleep to the bathroom.

Once I wake up I just use my m6 tanks in a backpack. I usually keep my backpack on all day and alternate between that and an e-tank on a cart or my POC depending on what I am doing.

I don't know if it would help everyone, but I eliminated at least some of my troubles by putting some of those little gold plant hangers in the wall and then running my hose through them. It shortens it to a degree since you can't take the hose diagonally across the room and instead it hugs the wall, but it has helped considerably in getting at least some of the tubing up off the floor where it inevitably tangled around my feet.

Maybe we could get some engineering students involved.. My vacuum cleaner cord is easier to deal with. How hard can it be?

Very pricey

Seems to be sold only in bulk....this is what I said you could improvise....which it sounds like someone already does with the name tag thingy. I was thinking for mainly in the kitchen. Something like the planter hooks to have as an anchor point and then hook the tubing to your waist.
