CPAP stands for Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. CPAP therapy is considered the “gold standard” for treating obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and has been available for 30 years. It refers to the pressurized air that is delivered through a unique delivery system which utilizes a mask.

The CPAP machine is basically a small box which has a motorized fan inside. This fan very quietly draws air from the room, gently pressurizes it, then delivers it at a setting specific to your needs.
