Apnea monitor Somnibel

Somnibel is a Class IIa medical device that works for sleep apnea and snoring treatment. It consists of a small, light device that is attached to the forehead and vibrates gently whenever your patient is sleeping in a supine position, encouraging him to change position. Many different clinical studies believe positional therapy to be an effective solution for positional OSA, obtaining similar results to CPAP treatment. Positional Therapy CPAP is the most widely used therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. This device increases the air pressure in the throat through a mask, so that the airways are not blocked when you breathe in. Other techniques used for treating OSA are a tennis ball attached to the back or posture pillows. However, in many cases these passive positional therapies are disruptive and uncomfortable, so they have a very high rejection rate. The latest advances in the treatment of posture OSA and positional snoring take us to Somnibel, the first patented active positional therapy which offers an alternative or supplement to CPAP, depending on the severity of the OSA; it is thus an ideal therapy for patients with mild to moderate positional apnea.
