The cushion adapts to the contours of each patient's face, creating a personalized fit for the ultimate experience in cushion comfort:
"With its unprecedented comfort, the AirTouch F20 is setting a new standard for CPAP therapy," said Mick Farrell, ResMed CEO. "Since many patients spend all night, every night sleeping with their mask, we want all patients to be as comfortable and happy with their therapy and their sleep as possible. AirTouch takes ResMed's market-leading mask comfort to the next level."
Comfort is the #1 reason patients quit CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) therapy, the gold standard for treating sleep apnea, which affects more than 100 million people worldwide. Untreated sleep apnea causes sufferers to stop breathing repeatedly throughout the night, unconsciously transitioning between moments of sleep suffocation and jolts of awakening to resume breathing. This may cause dangerous levels of daytime fatigue and raise the risk of developing other fatal conditions like type 2 diabetes and heart failure.
To help more patients stay on therapy, ResMed's mask developers have spent the last decade perfecting its UltraSoft memory foam cushion to give patients a whole new choice in comfort that still seals effectively over a range of therapy pressures.
"It's very exciting to offer our patients something that's truly new and different," said Jared Eardley, clinical supervisor at Norco Inc., a home medical equipment provider in Meridian, Idaho. "Plus, being able to pop the cushion on to a patient's own AirFit F20 frame will save time and hassle for both the patients and my staff – it's a real win-win."
Today, U.S. and Canadian patients can order the AirTouch F20 from their home medical equipment provider. It will be available in select countries across South America, Europe, and Asia in the coming months.
