A CPAP mask is an essential part of your sleep apnea therapy, delivering the pressurized air from your CPAP machine directly to your airways. Available in different styles such as full-face, nasal, and nasal pillow masks, each type is designed to suit your comfort, sleeping position, and breathing needs. A well-fitted CPAP mask ensures an effective seal, prevents air leaks, and helps you sleep comfortably through the night for optimal therapy results.
