Firesafe™
Our award winning range of Firesafe™ devices help reduce the risk of fires associated with oxygen therapy by isolating the oxygen flow and extinguishing the fire tracking back along the oxygen delivery tubing.
The Firesafe range of devices can be installed directly in the oxygen delivery circuit and at the interface with oxygen supply equipment, providing the following benefits:
- Reduce the rate at which the fire spreads
- Prevent fire reaching the supply source
- Minimise the size of the fire and the cost of restoration
- Buy valuable time to evacuate people from the scene
Firebreaks are now a standard requirement, for more information, please visit the Firebreak information site.
Firesafe™ Cannula Valve
Firesafe™ Cannula Valves are fitted in the oxygen delivery circuit, reducing the rate at which an oxygen therapy fire spreads and its impact on other residents and infrastructure.

Firesafe™ Nozzle – Male Lock Ring

The Under-reported Problem of Home Oxygen Fires in Europe
Each year, home oxygen fires cause a significant number of avoidable deaths and severe burn-related injuries across Europe.
We see people who have suffered burns from home oxygen fires all the time – we don’t see the ones who are trapped in a fire and perish. Then there’s the risk to other people around them and to property. When you look at the results in the UK, you wonder why they are not more widely adopted. Adding a couple of thermal fuses to someone’s oxygen equipment seems like a no-brainer to me.”
