A unique new CPAP mask called the CPAP Pro is now available in the UK and Europe. The mask has no headgear, instead using a mouthpiece to keep it in place.
Although it may sound odd, it is based on some sound logic and has proven to be very popular. It is kept in place by a mouthpiece that attaches to the upper jaw.
The mask then uses nasal pillows, meaning there is no skin contact with the mask other than the perimeter of the nostrils. This is great for anyone suffering from red marks or skin irritation from their current mask.
Because the upper jaw is fixed to the nose, the position between the two never changes. So once the mask is in place, it cannot then be dislodged or change position – as a mask attached with headgear can.
As well as ensuring the mask does not move, it has the added benefit of greater comfort as you no longer need to worry about headgear, which for many is the biggest drawback of wearing a CPAP mask.
The high level of adjustability also means it will fit almost anyone. The nasal pillows do not even need to be aligned symmetrically and can be positioned at almost any length or angle required.
The CPAP Pro has been hugely popular in the USA and we are looking forward to it helping similarly large numbers of CPAP users in the UK.
The CPAP Pro will begin shipping in the UK and Europe in early September and you can pre-order yours now by clicking here.
It is currently being discussed in our CPAP Forums too – why not check out the ‘CPAP Pro “no mask” ?’ to see what others are saying and share your views too?
