  1. What Are CPAP Machine Alternatives? While CPAP is the best and most effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, there are a variety of CPAP machine alternatives that can provide almost as effective treatment with obstructive sleep apnea. When looking for effective treatment for sleep apnea, it is important to keep in mind that every person is different and can react to different types of treatment. Here are some of the main CPAP machine alternatives you can find: The Somnera System The Somnera System is the first device designed to provide positive air pressure without the constant high airflow of the CPAP machine. The Somnera System has a low airflow system that replaces the humidifier and has a smaller size compared to most CPAP machines. Moreover, the tubing of the Somnera System is light and durable which provides comfort and absolute convenience for sleep apnea therapy. The tubing of the somnera system is so light that the users have reported that they do not feel it connected to anything during their sleep. Additional advantages of the low airflow of the Somnera System provide easy CPAP therapy and prevent the user from struggling with the CPAP hose. The machine is designed to provide efficient and comfortable sleep apnea therapy for the patients. Moreover, the sleek body shape, relaxation design, and the stretchability allows simple and easy compliance.. Some of the main features of The Somnera System are: ●Smart Valve Technology ●No Humidifier for Sleep Apnea Therapy

Rather than relieving you of the symptoms, the eXciteOSA focuses on muscle function of the tongue and stimulates therapy to strengthen the muscles and prevents the soft palate from collapsing during sleep. One session with the eXciteOSA is equivalent to 20 minutes. It is recommended to increase the intensity of the treatment period gradually over the time of six weeks to increase the effectiveness of the device. Once you have completed the treatment period of six weeks, you will need to continue to use the eXciteOSA twice every week to maintain the effectiveness and improve your sleep apnea. Bi-Level PAP Therapy Although similar to CPAP Machines, Bi-Level PAP machines have two different pressures for inhaling and exhaling respectively. Unlike CPAP machines, Bi-Level PAP machines allow easy breathing through a regulated control of the airflow during sleep apnea therapy and provide better compliance. Some major advantages of using BiLevel PAP as an alternative to CPAP machines are: ●It is a preferred treatment for sleep apnea patients with additional respiratory disorders ●The BiLevel PAP machine provides better exhalation comfort ●The BiPAP machines provide more air pressure flow adjustment compared to CPAP Machines. Conclusion CPAP machine alternatives are options for Obstructive Sleep Apnea patients who find it difficult to achieve CPAP Therapy Compliance. The alternative devices are designed to cater to specific problems faced when using a CPAP machine and can effectively treat sleep apnea in different patients.
