How is OSA treated?

The most widely accepted treatment for this chronic condition is Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.

 

What is a CPAP device?

A CPAP system is made up of a machine, tube and mask.

 

How does CPAP work?

CPAP therapy works while you sleep by gently delivering pressurised air to keep your upper airway open and helps prevent obstructive apneas. The pressure acts like an “air splint”  to keep your airway open...CPAP treatment does not involve drugs or surgery

 

How many people use CPAP?

CPAP therapy has helped millions of people with OSA around the world enjoy a healthier sleep and a healthier life.

 

Many people experience the benefits quickly - often after the first night of use.
