I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP for almost a year now. During the first few weeks I was really struggling trying to get used to sleeping with my CPAP mask on until I decided to just quit it. But the apnea and the snoring is really taking its toll on me. I heard a Profile Lite CPAP mask by the Respironics company will make it easier for me to stick to my therapy, but will it really? How? Respironics Inc. is one of today’s leading manufacturers of medical equipments dealing with sleep and respiratory issues. One of Respironics’ most in-demand products is the CPAP machine and its accessories, i.e. CPAP masks, humidifiers, nasal interfaces, etc. Respironics offers a wide variety of CPAP masks: full face masks, Soft series masks, Goldseal, and Comfort series masks. One of the most popular among these Respironics CPAP masks is the Respironics Profile Lite CPAP Mask. I know you are itching to find out what makes Respironics Profile Lite CPAP Mask a hit among CPAP users. Well, the Profile Lite Mask is lightweight. It feels like you’re not wearing any mask at all. At least you don’t feel the pressure on your face the way you do when you are using regular masks. And the Profile Lite Mask can be customized according to the user’s preferences. How? Place the new mask in hot water for not more than five minutes and transfer to a bowl of cold water for 10 seconds to let it cool down. While it is still wet, press it against your face to mold your facial shape and contour. Do this for about five minutes or until the new molded mask dries. You can redo the whole process anytime should you feel you don’t have the perfect fit. Additional features of Respironics Profile Lite CPAP Mask is the built in Flap that molds to the nose’s contour to reduce air leaks, and the forehead gel spacer that helps reduce pressure on the forehead and on the bridge of the nose. You can choose from among three different sizes of gel spacers for optimal comfort. If you want to find out more or if you are interested in the Profile Lite Mask, you can always ask your sleep specialist about it or contact your durable medical equipment (DME) provider and maybe you can try one out for yourself, to see how you like it.
