The Story
Neoprene Chin Strap for CPAP Therapy
Compared to the ResMed Sullivan Chinstrap, the chinstrap by Sunset Healthcare is designed to help the user who experiences their mouth opening while using a CPAP or Bi-Level machine. This typically occurs because of the machine providing the positive air pressure and the user not being used to the pressure being provided.
The chinstrap will fit from the chin to the crown of the head and can either fit over the CPAP mask headgear or inside of the headgear. Some users will put the chinstrap on first and then their CPAP mask so the headgear helps keep the chinstrap in place.
The chinstrap will typically not be used on going as the tendency to open the mouth should go away eventually after the user becomes more adjusted to the CPAP or Bi-Level pressure.
If used long term, wash weekly and replace every 3-6 months.
