The 921812-Each Teleflex Over-the-Ear Cannula with Standard Tip, 25 ft Star LumenTubing is a single-patient oxygen delivery component designed for continuous flow systems. Its curved, non-flared tip rests gently against the nostrils while the over-the-ear hook secures the cannula in place, reducing the need for frequent adjustments. The 25-foot length of Star-Lumen tubing gives users ample freedom of movement, whether they are seated at a bedside table or walking around a home environment. Constructed from medical-grade silicone, the cannula is both flexible and resistant to kinking, ensuring a reliable oxygen pathway at the low flow rates typical of home therapy.

Who is 921812-Each Teleflex Over-the-Ear Cannula with Standard Tip, 25 ft Star LumenTubing for?
This cannula is ideal for adults managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, or any condition that requires low-flow supplemental oxygen at home. It also serves patients who are mobile within their residence and need a reliable, unobtrusive interface that does not interfere with daily activities such as cooking, reading, or light exercise. Caregivers appreciate the ease of placement and the durability of the silicone components, which can withstand repeated cleaning cycles. Because the tubing length reaches 25 feet, the device can be positioned near a bedside table while the patient remains comfortably seated or reclining.
How does 921812-Each Teleflex Over-the-Ear Cannula with Standard Tip, 25 ft Star LumenTubing compare?
Compared with standard short-tube nasal cannulas, this model offers a longer tubing run that reduces clutter and allows the oxygen source to stay on a stable surface. The over-the-ear hook provides a more secure attachment than simple ear-loop designs, which can slip during movement. While disposable silicone cannulas are cheaper per piece but lack the durability and reusability of this Teleflex design, making it a better long-term investment for frequent users.
Best use cases
- →Home oxygen therapy for COPD patients.
- →Portable oxygen setup for short trips around the house.
- →Supplemental oxygen during sleep for nocturnal desaturation.
- →Emergency backup cannula in home care kits.
Is Teleflex Over-the-Ear Cannula with Standard Tip, 25 ft Star LumenTubing right for you?
Buy this cannula if you are an adult requiring low-flow supplemental oxygen at home and need a reliable, comfortable interface that stays in place during daily activities. No special training is required; a caregiver or the patient can easily attach the tubing and position the tip. For those who prefer reusable components, consider a full-size silicone cannula with detachable tips. If a shorter hose is sufficient, a standard 6-ft nasal cannula may be more compact, but it lacks the extended reach of the 25-ft version.
How it compares: Compared with short-tube nasal cannulas, this 25-ft model offers greater mobility and less clutter, while the over-the-ear hook provides a more secure fit than simple ear-loop designs. Disposable silicone cannulas are cheaper per piece but lack the durability and reusability of this Teleflex accessory, making it a smarter long-term choice for frequent users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size tubing does the Teleflex cannula include?
▾
The cannula comes with a 25-foot length of Star-Lumen tubing, which is a lightweight, kink-resistant hose designed for home oxygen systems. The tubing’s 22 mm inner diameter matches standard oxygen outlets, providing a secure connection and enough slack for patients to move comfortably around a bedside or living area.
Does the over-the-ear hook cause discomfort?
▾
The over-the-ear hook is molded from soft silicone and shaped to distribute pressure evenly across the ear. Most users report minimal irritation, even after several hours of continuous wear. If sensitivity occurs, adjusting the hook position or using a thin protective sleeve can further improve comfort.
How do I attach the cannula to my oxygen concentrator?
▾
First, locate the 22 mm outlet on the oxygen concentrator. Slide the universal connector of the cannula onto the outlet until it clicks securely. Then, position the curved tip in the patient’s nostrils and adjust the over-the-ear hook behind the ear. Verify that the tubing is free of kinks before turning on the flow.
Is this cannula suitable for pediatric patients?
▾
The standard tip is sized for adult nostrils and may be too large for most children. For pediatric use, Teleflex offers smaller-diameter tips and shorter tubing designed specifically for younger patients. Using the adult-size cannula on a child could cause discomfort or inadequate oxygen delivery.
Can I clean and reuse this cannula?
▾
The cannula is intended for single-patient, short-term use and is not designed for repeated sterilization. While the silicone material can be gently rinsed with mild soap and water, it should be replaced after each therapy cycle to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal oxygen flow. Reusable models are available for long-term patients.
