Transcend is a new wearable sleep apnea therapy device designed to be the ultimate travel CPAP. It overcomes hurdles associated with using a bulky, hassle-ridden traditional CPAP. Weighing less than one pound, Transcend is the smallest–it measures 6.1 in x 3.5 in x 2.8 in–and lightest CPAP on the market and its special features fit the travel needs of sleep apnea patients: it uses low power consumption, replaces the messy humidification chamber with heat moisture exchange technology, and has optional battery pack and mobile power options for use in remote locations.
About Sleep Apnea
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, nearly 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea and those with obstructive sleep apnea—a condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep when the soft tissue in the throat collapses—tend to have high blood pressure, heart problems, headaches, and memory problems. OSA can also be linked to job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Both men and women can develop sleep apnea, but it is more common in men, particularly middle-age men who are also overweight. Approximately half of those suffering from sleep apnea also have a snoring problem.
