Every patient is different and, whilst CPAP machines offer an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) for some, patients often cannot tolerate it.
The treatment type is uncomfortable, irritating, noisy, and it causes dry mouth. Additionally, some patients remove the mask while they’re asleep, find that their breathing is out of sync, or are intolerant to the air pressure.[i] Comfort and compliance are essential for long-term treatment success.
O2Vent® is an effective alternative for patients with OSA. The device is customised to fit each patient, which helps to treat the condition comfortably and discreetly. When the airway becomes blocked, air is drawn in through the device, allowing it to reach the back of the throat.
O2Vent® also stabilises the lower jaw, brings the tongue forward, and encourages the airway to open. Because of this, the device is an effective treatment option for OSA.
