Philips Respironics has introduced the EasyLife nasal mask for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The EasyLife is a nasal mask that is used to deliver positive airway pressure (PAP) in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for patients weighing more than 66 pounds.
It’s an alternative to traditional nasal masks with its dual-cushion design and patented Auto Seal technology.
With its patented Auto Seal technology and minimal number of parts, EasyLife is an extraordinarily easy mask for both health care professionals and patients to use.
The EasyLife nasal mask nearly eliminates the need for manual mask adjustments. Its innovative, lightweight design features a unique dual-cushion construction — the inner cushion creates an instant, self-adjusting seal, while the outer cushion provides comfortable support.
Because the forehead pad adjusts automatically, a number of traditional mask adjustments are nearly eliminated except for intuitive headgear adjustments.
The EasyLife mask has only four parts — mask frame, headgear, outer support cushion, and inner seal cushion — making the mask is easy to assemble and clean.
“Patients will appreciate its comfort and the way it maintains a seal throughout their nighttime movements,” said Gretchen Jezerc, director, U.S. Marketing, Sleep Disordered Breathing, Philips Home Healthcare Solutions. “It is truly a breakthrough in the patient interface market.”
The four available cushion sizes — small, medium, medium wide, and large — each fit one of two frames. To further simplify fitting and inventory management, FitPacks with two sizes of cushions are available.
DuoPacks with multiple cushions of the same size also are offered to support supply replacement initiatives for patients.
