Treatment Options for Sleep Apnea

While this treatment is very effective, many recently diagnosed sleep apnea sufferers are often apprehensive due to the vast array of bulky CPAP accessories that are required. CPAP therapy involves the use of a CPAP machine to control airflow and a tube or hose to transport the air from the machine to the airways. It also involves a CPAP mask that is specifically chosen to suit the individual’s preference. You can choose from a nasal mask which only goes over the nose, a nasal pillow mask that fits under the nose or a full mask, which covers the mouth and nose.

These masks are usually fixated in place while you sleep with CPAP headgear and chin straps in order to avoid the mask being displaced, which will impede results.

It is not uncommon for first-time CPAP users to experience some slight discomfort during the transition to using your CPAP supplies, but you should find contentment in the fact that CPAP machines are actually smaller and quieter compared to older versions, and high-quality masks create with hypoallergenic fabrics and medical grade fabrics provide enhanced comfort. In fact, at Biomed, we are a leading CPAP manufacturer, providing superior fabrics to suppliers such as the medical equipment company Resmed. This partnership ensures the creation of the highly regarded CPAP supplies such as Resmed masks, headgear and chin restraints for sleep apnea sufferers.
