Secure, Accessible Oxygen Storage for Patient Transport Keep your "D" oxygen cylinder precisely where you need it—attached directly to the cot rail—with the R&B Fabrications Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve. This heavy-duty sleeve eliminates the danger of loose cylinders in the ambulance and ensures your oxygen supply travels seamlessly with the patient during stretcher transfers.

Key Features

  • Universal Cot Mount: Utilizes heavy-duty 2-inch hook-and-loop straps sewn onto rugged webbing to fasten the cylinder securely to standard ambulance cot rails.
  • Streamlined Protection: Padded sleeve design reduces noise (clanking) and protects the cylinder body from scratches and impact during transport.
  • Tubing Management: Features a dedicated hook-and-loop tab at the top of the sleeve to coil and secure excess oxygen tubing, preventing tangle hazards.
  • Optional Storage Pocket: Available in a "With Pocket" configuration that adds a side pouch for storing non-rebreather masks, nasal cannulas, or cylinder wrenches.
  • High-Visibility Colors: Available in safety Orange or medical Green for quick identification and color-coding of equipment.
  • Professional Grade: Constructed from industrial materials designed to withstand the daily abuse of EMS operations.

Why It Matters In emergency transport, having the oxygen cylinder detached from the patient means risking a line pull-out during movement. This sleeve integrates the oxygen supply with the cot, creating a single, mobile unit. It frees up the provider's hands and prevents the cylinder from becoming a dangerous projectile or tripping hazard.

How to Use Slide your "D" oxygen cylinder into the sleeve. Use the dual 2-inch hook-and-loop straps to cinch the sleeve tightly against the side rail of the ambulance cot. Connect your regulator. Coil the oxygen tubing and secure it with the top tab. If using the pocket model, store a backup mask in the side pouch.

Technical Overview The sleeve is designed specifically for "D" cylinders (approx. 4.5" diameter). The mounting system relies on wide webbing straps that wrap around the cot rail, offering a universal fit for most Stryker and Ferno cots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve use hook-and-loop fasteners instead of buckles or clips?

The R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve features 2" hook-and-loop straps sewn to 2" webbing for rapid deployment and secure attachment to cot rails during emergency transport. Unlike buckles that can break under stress or clips that may accidentally release, hook-and-loop fasteners provide adjustable tension and reliable hold while allowing EMS providers to quickly access the D cylinder when seconds matter. The design also includes a hook-and-loop tab at the top for coiling oxygen tubing, keeping your workspace organized during patient care.

What's the difference between MPN 474OR and MPN 475OR for the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve?

The key difference is the optional side pocket. MPN 474OR (orange, without pocket) and MPN 474GR (green, without pocket) are streamlined sleeves measuring 15 1/2" L x 4 1/2" and weighing 8 oz, ideal for minimalist setups. MPN 475OR (orange, with pocket) and MPN 475GR (green, with pocket) add a side pocket for storing extra attachments like regulators or wrenches, with slightly larger dimensions at 15 3/4" L x 4 1/2" diameter. Both versions securely hold D cylinders and are Made in the USA by R&B Fabrications.

Can the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve fit on ambulance stretchers from different manufacturers?

Yes, the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve is designed with universal 2" webbing and hook-and-loop attachment that fits standard cot rails across major ambulance stretcher brands including Stryker, Ferno, and others. The adjustable hook-and-loop straps accommodate varying rail widths and configurations, making it compatible with most EMS transport equipment. This versatility makes it a reliable choice for fire departments, disaster response teams, and training academies that may operate multiple stretcher models.

How does the tubing storage feature on the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve prevent tangling during transport?

The R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve includes a dedicated hook-and-loop tab at the top specifically designed for coiling and securing oxygen tubing when not actively in use. This prevents the tubing from tangling with other equipment, getting caught on doors or rails during patient movement, or creating trip hazards in the ambulance. The organized tubing management ensures your oxygen delivery system is always ready for immediate deployment without fumbling with knotted lines during critical moments.

Is the R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve compatible with E cylinders or only D cylinders?

The R&B Oxygen Cylinder Sleeve is specifically engineered for D cylinders with dimensions of 15 1/2" to 15 3/4" L x 4 1/2" diameter (depending on whether you choose the model with or without pocket). D cylinders are the standard size for ambulance and first responder use, offering the optimal balance of oxygen capacity and portability. If you need to secure E cylinders or other sizes, you'll want to verify compatibility with R&B Fabrications or explore their full oxygen cylinder bag product line for alternative sizing options.
