ResMed is the first company to release a nasal pillow system designed just for women with the market release of its latest mask, the Swift LT for Her. According to ResMed, it is the first mask designed specifically to address the 85 percent of women diagnosed with sleep apnea who feel they have special needs in mask choice.
In releasing the Swift LT for Her, ResMed said it was responding to an identified market demand, including trying to address issues that may be unique to women. The new mask may also address issues related to long hair in either sex.
