THE FOREFRONT OF SLEEP APNEA THERAPY
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) devices
Technological advances for devices in the treatment of Sleep Apnea over recent years have resulted in greatly improved quality of life for people with this condition. They provide more comfortable and effective ongoing treatment and symptom relief to greatly improve quality of life.
Continuous Positive Airflow Pressure (CPAP) is the most common and effective treatment available for patients with Sleep Apnea. It works by using a device to blow a continuous stream of air into the airway via a small mask worn whilst sleeping. This forms a sort of “air splint” that helps support the tissues of the throat from collapsing. The air is just strong enough to do the job it needs to do without being uncomfortable and without disturbing the your sleep (or the sleep of your partner!).
CPAP devices have advanced over the years. They are now small and very quiet and much more comfortable to wear – don’t be put off trying treatment simply because you know someone with an old device – they may not have had the opportunity of being with Healthy Sleep Solutions and having the most up-to-date equipment and personalised support to help them maximise the benefits of treatment.
