... well, it's not oxygen glasses (way fewer hits for "oxygen glasses" than "Sauerstoffbrille". Is it just oxygen tubing?

I can't give a lot of context b/c this is a list of products.

Explanation:
Also called "Luftbrille" - see second website below.

From PflegeWiki (first website below): "Die ca. 1- 2cm langen Einflussstutzen werden beidseits in die Nasenlöcher eingeführt, die Schlaufen liegen hinter den Ohren und kommen unter dem Kinn wieder zusammen. Die Sauerstoffbrille muss aus hygienischen Gründen alle 24h ausgetauscht werden!"
