Nasal masks | CPAP
For the therapy of sleep apnea
Among CPAP masks, the nasal mask is one of the most important mask types. A distinction is made between nasal masks, which enclose the nose including the bridge of the nose, and nasal cushion masks, in which the bridge of the nose is exposed and only the nostrils are covered. Both types of CPAP masks are well suited for stomach and side sleepers.
CPAP Nasal Masks – Comfortable Breathing Therapy for Sleep Apnea
Nasal masks are among the most popular CPAP mask types in sleep apnea therapy. A CPAP nasal mask covers only the nose and is perceived by many users as particularly comfortable.
Advantages over other mask types
- Nasal masks are significantly smaller.
- Nasal masks are lighter to wear.
- At the same time, they offer a larger nasal coverage than nasal pillow masks.
Thanks to their compact design, nasal masks provide a clear field of vision – ideal if you like to read or watch TV before falling asleep. Side sleepers also benefit from the flexible fit, which effectively reduces leakage and supports a stable therapy pressure. They are particularly suitable for people who mainly breathe through the nose.
When is a nasal mask not suitable?
For sleep apnea patients who mainly breathe through the mouth at night, a nasal mask is less recommended. Mouth leaks may occur, reducing therapy pressure and compromising the effectiveness of CPAP therapy. In such cases, full-face masks or the combination with a chin strap are advisable.
