An oxygen mask provides a method to transfer breathing oxygen gas from a storage tank to the lungs. Oxygen masks may cover the nose and mouth (oral nasal mask ) or the entire face (full face mask). They may be made of plastic, silicone, or rubber.
Three different types of oxygen masks, each for different administrations. The nasal cannula, simple face mask, and the non-rebreather mask.

it's a mask used in hospitals on patients undergoing surgery or with respiratory disorders or conditions which cause lack of oxygen to the lungs. the mask covers the nose and mouth and is attached to an oxygen cylinder or to a machine that pumps oxygen.
At times there are units that are made for use in homes for chronically ill or asthmatic patients who cannot breathe on their own.
