CPAP is generally considered to be an effective treatment for sleep apnea. Unfortunately, it only works for patients who are able to consistently wear their masks every single night. Too often, sleep apneics refuse to wear their masks because they are troubled by pressure sores, claustrophobia, and disturbing noises that keep them awake almost as much as sleep apnea did in the first place.
A new company offers help
Recently, a CPAP company began promoting its masks on television commercials. According to its advertisements, the company offers to send clients new, flexible CPAP masks every 30 days. The commercial claims that these mail-order products have the ability to silence the typical noises associated with CPAP-use; however, because they can’t be tailored to conform to each person’s individual face, this claim is probably too good to be true.
Get personalized attention
Even if this company’s claims are true, it doesn’t offer any answers to patients who can’t tolerate CPAP due to pressure sores and the anxiety and discomfort associated with feeling trapped.
