Mask Liners Help Sleep Apnea Patients Get a Good Night's Sleep

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 24 Feb 2009
A new product could eliminate most of the problems associated with wearing a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask for the treatment of sleep apnea.

The RemZzzs full face and nasal absorbent CPAP mask liners work by absorbing facial oils and perspiration, resulting in a better seal, reduced skin irritation, and ultimately increased comfort and compliance, promoting a comfortable full night of sleep. More...
Among the benefits of the liners, which are made from a special blend of naturally absorbent fibers, are greatly reduced or completely eliminated noisy and annoying air leaks; prevention of skin irritations and ugly pressure marks; assistance with comfortably maintaining the CPAP mask in place; and allowing the use of bedtime facial products. The liners are offered in small, medium, and large sizes, specifically designed for each of the most common Full Face and Nasal CPAP masks available. The apertures in the liner are designed to stretch around the nose and mouth in order to provide a custom fit. The liners are offered in a single-pack, which includes a 30-day supply of RemZzzs, with 30 facial liners and 2 forehead liners, or in a carton--intended for hospitals, institutions, or sleep clinics--which contains 30 single-packs. The RemZzzs are a product of Naturs Design (Jackson, MI, USA).

"RemZzzs is brilliant. Our patients have been battling these side effects for decades; it's so simple, I can't believe someone hasn't come up with this sooner! I believe RemZzzs will revolutionize our industry,” claimed Jon, a polysomnographic technologist at Virginia Mason Hospital (Seattle, WA, USA).

When perspiration contacts a CPAP mask's silicone cushion, the result is a loss of seal; the increased moisture usually results in the mask slipping and losing air pressure, setting off an entire chain of events that can end with scenarios such as burping and squealing noises from air leaks, constant re-adjustment the mask, and chaff marks and skin irritation, which can eventually end with low compliance rates or abandonment of therapy altogether.
