A supportive device worn around the head and under the chin, this accessory helps maintain a proper jaw position during sleep, preventing the mouth from opening and disrupting the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This is crucial for individuals experiencing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), as an open mouth can lead to air leaks and reduced treatment efficacy.
Maintaining a sealed airway is essential for CPAP therapy to deliver the prescribed air pressure and alleviate OSA symptoms. This device contributes significantly to therapy success by promoting proper airflow and reducing instances of dry mouth and throat. Historically, users experimented with various DIY solutions before dedicated devices became readily available, highlighting the long-recognized need for such support.
