# Medical O2 Masks The Oxygen Rehabilitation Apparatus is a Futuristic Cell-Cleansing Accessory By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-14 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oxygen-rehabilitation-apparatus References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/02/13/pure-oxygen-perfection/) & [brucewallsdesign](http://www.brucewallsdesign.com/) There have been proven benefits to clinical hyperbaric treatments, raising the question of how to bring [oxygen therapy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lung-resection-surgery) to patients at home. This Oxygen Rehabilitation Apparatus was designed by Bruce Walls to be used as a personal source of pure O2. Much of the current equipment does not efficiently supply air, allowing much of it to escape and go to waste. What's proposed here is a [full-face gas mask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resmed-airtouch-n30i) that ensures every last molecule will be inhaled through the wearer's nose or mouth. A transparent window wraps around the front of the visor so that one can still easily see from behind the structured casing. Even this would have a degree of flexibility. The Oxygen Rehabilitation Apparatus has [memory polymer cushioning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/h-medi-pro) and adjustable straps at the back. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Home Oxygen Therapy:** Opportunity for creating innovative home-based oxygen therapy devices that efficiently supply pure oxygen to patients. - **Enhanced Gas Masks:** Opportunity to design full-face gas masks with improved features such as transparent windows for better visibility and flexible structures for added comfort. - **Medical Equipment Optimization:** Opportunity to develop medical equipment that efficiently delivers treatment by minimizing waste and maximizing patient benefits. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare:** Innovations in home-based oxygen therapy devices can disrupt the healthcare industry by providing convenient and effective treatments. - **Safety and Protection:** Enhanced gas masks have the potential to disrupt the safety and protection industry by offering improved functionality and comfort for various applications. - **Medical Device Manufacturing:** The optimization of medical equipment, such as oxygen masks, presents opportunities for disruption within the medical device manufacturing industry by improving treatment effectiveness and efficiency. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air-Controlling VR Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airres-mask.md) - [Wearer-Analyzing Respirators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebcare-mask.md) - [Aerodynamic Filtration Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goa-face-protector.md) - [Cutting-Edge Oxygen Therapies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy.md) - [Mini Mountaineering Oxygen Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inogi-r1-oxygen-generator.md) - [Air-Blowing Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-mask.md) - [Powered Breathability Face Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/performance-face-mask.md) - [Updated Respiratory Training Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/respiratory-training-system.md) - [Breath-Tracking Face Mask Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/facebit.md)
