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 in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea for patients weighing more than 66 pounds.
Royal Philips Electronics today showcased the next generation Philips Respironics Sleep Therapy System at Medtrade 2009, a conference and expo for the home medical equipment industry.
The arrival of the new product line brings advances in sleep apnea therapy, the manufacturer says, that will benefit millions of sleep apnea sufferers, as well as bring new solutions to healthcare providers trying to meet today’s healthcare challenges.
There are now 131 days and counting, and with the course certification completed for the 20th running of Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon, Philips Respironics is poised to make the most of its first major sponsorship of a sporting event and the debut of the half marathon by using the platform to raise awareness about the importance of sleep to health and wellness.
The company, now a part of Royal Philips Electronics’ home healthcare business, is a title sponsor of the half marathon, scheduled for May 3, 2009.
