Pressurizes Air
A CPAP machine’s main job is to deliver pressurized, oxygen-rich air to the user while they are sleeping. The main component of a CPAP machine is a small box that contains a fan. The fan takes in air from the room, pressurizes it, and then delivers it to the user.
Humidifies the Air
Another key component of a CPAP machine is it’s internal humidifier. Here, water is heated which then joins with the air so that when you breathe in, you are breathing in warm, moisturized air. This helps to ensure the health and comfort of your nasal and upper airway while breathing at night.
Delivers the Air
The air is delivered via a tube that is attached to a mask of your choosing. The tube itself is usually heated, too, in order to ensure no condensation forms at night. There are a variety of mask types available so you can choose the one that best fits you and will work for your sleeping habits. Check out our selection online today.
Helps to Ensure Little-to-No Stops in Breathing
Sleep apnea is a condition where people stop breathing for more than a minute at night. The airway closes off, leading to deprivation in oxygen and usually the person being awakened from sleep. CPAP machines help prevent the airways from closing at night, helping people to receive oxygen and sleep without interruption.
