Ventus Medical Introduces Provent Therapy for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Provent Therapy - a New, More Comfortable Way to Treat Sleep Apnea
Anyone who suffers from sleep apnea knows how cumbersome it is to use a CPAP machine in order to breathe at night. For many years the CPAP has been the most recommended form of treatment for this condition. Recently, however, a new type of technology has appeared as an alternative to the CPAP.
Ventus Medical Introduces Provent Therapy for the Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Ventus Medical is now making available their new product called Provent. Whereas the CPAP machine used continuous positive air pressure to keep the air passages open, Provent uses expiratory positive air pressure (EPAP). This new sleep apnea treatment is a small nasal device which uses the power of your own breathing to keep the airways open. There are no cumbersome masks, headgear, machines or electricity required. Instead, Provent uses a tiny nasal micro-valve to provide the therapy needed.
Traveling With Provent is Much Easier Than the CPAP Machine
Provent Therapy is small enough to slip into your purse or pocket when traveling, which brings even greater freedom from using the bulky CPAP machines of the past. Since you use a new Provent set every night, there is no maintenance required. Provent therapy is by prescription only and has been FDA cleared for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
Benefits of Using Provent Therapy
According to their website, Provent Therapy has been shown to provide the following benefits:
-
Improved daytime function
-
Improved enthusiasm to get things done
-
Reduced breathing disruptions during sleep
-
Reduced snoring
-
Increased blood oxygenation levels
Ten Night Starter Kit
To learn more about this new treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, and to obtain a ten night starter kit, you can visit their website . The starter kit is being offered for the small sum of only $2 - $3 per night.
Since obstructive sleep apnea is known to be related to such health problems as hypertension, heart disease, stroke, obesity, and diabetes, it is important for anyone who suffers from chronic sleep disruption to be tested and treated. Many people who have been tested for obstructive sleep apnea have failed to continue therapy due to the uncomfortable apparatus that is currently the most commonly used form of treatment. Provent Therapy could just prove to be "the new kid on the block" when it comes to an effective way to treat such sleep disorders.
