Nasal Cushion Mask and Supplies in Kansas

A CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) nasal mask is an apparatus that delivers airflow to the airway for individuals who need higher pressure settings. The triangular-shaped mask sits on the face around the nose and is held in place by headgear (stretchy straps that go around the nose). If the patient has severe sleep apnea that requires higher pressure, a nasal mask is often preferred because it delivers the high pressure indirectly and allows for more natural breathing when air pressures are high.
