where to get longer tubes & tube covers?

Post by kolchak » Thu Dec 27, 2007 9:28 am

Where (besides a DME) can I get a soft cloth hose cover & a 10 ft section of hose?
It's time to upgrade from my home made tube sock cover.
My DME charges $45 for a 6 ft length of hose, so I'm sure the 10 footer would be substantially more. Even though insurance would probably cover it, out of principal I'd rather find a cheaper alternative.
thanks!

I didn't look at the links but hey the hose is cheaper than the cover?

Not to take anything away from Pada (who might be on Holiday) I made my own from an old towel & another from a scarf. I like to make use of things I already have but hey that's me.
Good Luck,

thanks - awesome supply links!
I had no clue those places/products exsisted.
Three months ago I'd never believed I'd be excited about a place that sells plastic hose covers, tapes & tubing......then again three months ago I'd never heard of a CPAP machine muchless "complex" sleep apnia.
Thanks again.
