The Ascend Full Face Mask is a medical device used in the treatment of sleep
apnea and other respiratory conditions. It is a type of positive airway pressure
(PAP) mask designed to deliver continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or
bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) therapy to patients who have difficulty
breathing during sleep.
Features:
- Full Face Coverage: The mask is designed to cover both the nose
and mouth, providing a secure seal to deliver pressurized air to the
patient's airway. This is particularly suitable for individuals who may
breathe through their mouth during sleep.
- CPAP or BiPAP Therapy: The mask is compatible with both CPAP and
BiPAP devices, which deliver pressurized air to help keep the patient's
airway open during sleep.
- Straps and Headgear: The mask is held in place using straps and
headgear that secure it to the patient's head comfortably to maintain an
effective seal.
- Exhalation Vent: Many full face masks include an exhalation vent
to allow the patient to exhale without resistance.
- Custom Fit: Masks often come in various sizes to ensure a
comfortable and effective fit. Proper sizing is essential to minimize air
leaks and ensure the success of the therapy.
Sleep apnea and other sleep-disordered breathing conditions can lead to
disrupted sleep, fatigue, and other health issues. The Ascend Full Face Mask,
when used in conjunction with a CPAP or BiPAP machine, helps maintain an open
airway and improves breathing during sleep.
