The image features a Salter-style nasal cannula attached to a wall-mounted medical oxygen flowmeter. Salter Labs is a leading manufacturer in the respiratory care industry, renowned for its innovations in oxygen delivery systems, particularly the 'clear, lightweight' nasal cannula that has become a standard in healthcare settings worldwide.

Originally founded in California, USA, by Peter Salter, the company established itself as a pioneer in patient comfort and medical technology. Over the decades, the brand's reach expanded globaly, leading to its acquisition by larger medical technology conglomerates. Today, as part of the SunMed (now rebranded as AirLife) portfolio, the brand focuses on a wide array of respiratory and anesthesia products.

Manufacturing for these clinical consumables occurs in multiple countries, including the United States, Mexico, and China, to support global distribution. The ownership has evolved significantly, merging with other specialized respiratory units to form AirLife, a comprehensive manufacturer providing essential medical devices to hospitals and home-care providers across the globe.
