About CPAP

What Is a CPAP?

A Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine is a device that uses a motor to deliver pressurized air through a tube into a mask worn over the nose and mouth during sleep. The constant air pressure keeps the airway open, preventing the collapses that cause snoring and sleep apnea.

While CPAP therapy can be effective when used consistently, many patients struggle with compliance due to discomfort, inconvenience, and side effects. Studies show that nearly half of CPAP users discontinue use within the first year.
