has anyone had any experience with a Uni-flo2 Single-nasal Cannula System (Uni-flo2) and if you had, did you like it.

Never heard of it before your question. I looked it up - interesting. I hope there're someones here who have used it.
I found an article on copd.net. I've gotten so use to the 2-prong cannula that how it looks doesn't matter; however, if it's more effective than I'm willing to give it a try - post-doctor, maybe?

I have seen the writeups on them and have seen the ads. I have never tried them, I have problems with nasal passages plugging up so was worred about that. They are not terribly expensive: www.upodsllc.com/checkout/

I've never heard of this either! But, sounds nice, for me,I wouldn't care for it I don't think? To have air flow in one nostril would bother me as I'm also like Gerald, Great question!

Hmmm! I've been thinking that the lopsidedness could be annoying - unless you're use to an unevenness with your nostrils.

I've never heard of them either. I think i'd feel 'lopsided' and always be fidgeting with it to make sure it was in place (of course i seem to do that with the 2 pronged cannula's too)---- with my allergies i seem to have runny nose or plugged up nose (the 02 has dried up the runny quite a bit, which is a plus, altho now i can get 'too dry).
I think my problem would be with the tape. my skin is getting thinner & thinner & band aids can tear my skin off if i'm not careful in removing one....& my cheeks get sores from the cannula so i get the canula's with the earpiece foam; which i often wear across my cheeks, or switch it to ears if i start getting sores on ears. the one sided canula might actually help that problem though----it will be interesting to hear others opinions if they have ever used them.
