Contour Products Promotes Survey for National
Respiratory Care Week, Findings Prove Benefits of Contour CPAP Pillow for Sleep
Apnea Patients
Over 96% of Respiratory Therapists Agree, Mask
Users Benefit From This Pillow
In conjunction with National Respiratory Care Week, Contour Products(TM), a
leader in the sleep support
and comfort industry, is proud to promote the results of a 2009 survey
conducted among respiratory therapists who work with CPAP patients daily.
One of the most common issues among CPAP therapy users is discomfort when
sleeping with their CPAP mask, as a result of the mask pressing against
their face. The Contour CPAP Pillow alleviates this with its innovative
pressure-free zones that accommodate any respiratory mask so users stay
comfortable, even in the side-sleeping position.
"National Respiratory Care Week is an ideal time to highlight that
respiratory therapists from throughout the country have acknowledged and
supported that the patented design of our Contour CPAP Pillow significantly
improves comfort among CPAP therapy patients," says Contour Products'
founder Scott Davis. "We've received tremendous feedback from end users on
these same issues, but to have members of the medical community respond as
consistently and favorably as they did is truly gratifying and gives
additional credibility."
Mask leaks were an important topic in the survey. More than 91 percent
of respiratory therapists surveyed agreed the Contour CPAP Pillow is
successful in reducing mask leaks, another major barrier to compliance
among CPAP therapy patients. Aside from causing dry skin on the face, mask
leaks contribute to patients not getting the prescribed amount of
pressurized air. Leaks compromise compliance because of the air leakage as
well as the discomfort and noise they cause.
As further proof of the Contour CPAP Pillow's effectiveness, 100 percent
of the respiratory therapists surveyed agreed the pillow reduces the
tendency of the mask to press against the face. Mask pressure is the
major factor in discomfort complaints among CPAP therapy patients, as well
as a leading cause of non-compliance. Eliminating mask pressure is a
tremendous step in the direction of patient acceptance and compliance for
CPAP mask
therapy, a highly effective treatment for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
The Contour CPAP Pillow features that address key issues affecting
patient compliance include ergonomically designed head, neck and shoulder
support to reinforce comfort. The pillow has specifically molded spots for
users to rest their ears when side sleeping. And, its inclined upper sides
support the forehead to help prevent patients from rotating their chin
downward, compromising airway alignment.
Other important features of the Contour CPAP Pillow include an advanced,
precisely molded design made of poured foam for superior support and
resilience. A cover of silky, quilted padding in the hollowed-out
sections of the pillow and along the shoulder area ensures that the mask,
hose and body glide over the pillow when users change positions. It has a
five-year warranty and boasts effective packaging that thoroughly conveys
its features and benefits in a user-friendly format.
"It's important to note during Respiratory Care Week that the Contour
CPAP Pillow is ideal for use both during titration and at home," says Scott
Davis. "By controlling the mask variable during titration, the process
becomes more manageable and improves patient acceptance of the interface.
Using the pillow at home ensures comfort and compliance after titration."
