USE THE IP-POUCH!
The IP-Pouch is a replacement technology for plastic bags used for storing reusable nasal cannula, HHN’s and other respiratory devices. Plastic bags retain moisture and allow harmful microbes to survive and thrive. The IP-Pouch is made from a breathable wicking material that removes moisture allowing the microbes to die naturally.
In a study at a California State University completed February 27, 2013, the time zero numbers were captured to chart the actual increase or decrease of the staph microbial counts on the nasal cannula in a Plastic Bag, Polyester Mesh Bag & Spun Fiber Polypropylene Bag (SF-1) for 1 hour.

The IP-Pouch from Infection Prevention Products is an amazing product. It has reduced respiratory infections immensely. I don't know how we've lasted this long without it.
