Nasal CPAP Masks

Nasal CPAP masks cover only the nose and deliver pressurized air effectively for the treatment of sleep apnea. They offer an excellent balance between comfort, stability and performance.

Lighter and less bulky than full face masks, nasal CPAP masks are suitable for many users seeking a comfortable solution for daily use.

What is a nasal CPAP mask used for?

A nasal CPAP mask delivers pressurized air through the nose to keep the airways open during sleep, helping prevent apneas and hypopneas.

It is especially suitable for users who primarily breathe through the nose and do not experience significant mouth leaks.

How does a nasal CPAP mask work?

The nasal mask is connected to the CPAP machine via a tube. It fits over the nose and delivers pressurized air throughout the night.

With soft cushions and adjustable headgear, nasal masks provide a secure seal while minimizing facial pressure and bulk.

Who should use a nasal CPAP mask?

Nasal CPAP masks are particularly suitable for:

• users who breathe primarily through the nose,
• those looking for a balance between comfort and stability,
• side sleepers or users who change positions frequently,
• people who prefer a less covering mask than a full face model.

How to choose a nasal CPAP mask?

When choosing a nasal CPAP mask, several criteria should be considered:

• nasal shape and mask size,
• cushion comfort,
• headgear stability during sleep,
• prescribed pressure level,
• compatibility with the CPAP machine and accessories.

Proper fitting is essential to minimize leaks and ensure effective, comfortable therapy.
