About BOOST Oxygen
OUR STORY
Our motto has always been “Help is Here” – this defines both our Oxygen product and our commitment to customer service and satisfaction. Supplemental Oxygen simply helps. It can be used for a wide range of applications- from sport, to seniors, to pilots, to climbers, to truckers, to partiers, and to many more people for many different reasons. Boost Oxygen makes Oxygen available, anytime, anywhere, to anyone, in a safe and trustworthy fashion.
We have been fortunate to partner with terrific suppliers, retail partners, employees, contractors and many other people and organizations who have all taken a little chance on Boost Oxygen, and all have been major factors in our growth and success. We have many terrific customers who have been with us from the early days, and their adoption and continuous advocacy is the foundation on which this company has been built. Our greatest satisfaction has come from the thousands of amazing testimonials we have received from our customers, it inspires us everyday and makes all the work worthwhile.
Through extensive testing, Boost Oxygen developed and patented masks and actuators for one-handed ease of use and ergonomic benefits of various sized cans to offer the perfect balance of convenience, size and value. Over the past 12 years, Boost Oxygen has worked with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration and Consumer Product Safety Commission to develop supplemental Oxygen products that were safe, legal to use without a prescription, compliant to package, ship and store, and most importantly, could deliver value to the consumer for any non-medical use.
Boost Oxygen manufactures and fills all of its canisters in the United States, and is a proud supporter of MVPvets, a non-profit organization helping our veterans obtain employment and mentorship in the Bio and Medtech sector, and the US Ski Patrol Association. It is exported to 17 countries around the world and has become the global leader in the Personal Oxygen Can industry. Help is Here!
