Sleepnet, a leading manufacturer of CPAP and NIV masks, offers innovative Custom Fit Technology across many of its products. This unique feature allows users to mold, shape, and bend their CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) and NIV (non-invasive ventilation) masks to match the unique contours of their face or their patient’s face. The result is a personalized and snug fit that not only enhances comfort but also ensures an optimal seal.
How Custom Fit Technology Works
Sleepnet’s Custom Fit Technology is designed to be user-friendly and accessible. The mask is made from a flexible medical-grade material that responds to gentle manipulation. Users can easily shape, bend, and mold the mask along the sides, top, and bottom. The mask retains its customized shape, allowing users to achieve a consistent and secure fit.
Benefits of Custom Fit Technology
Personalization: One of the key challenges faced by CPAP and NIV mask users is achieving an effective seal. Sleepnet’s Custom Fit Technology addresses this issue by empowering users to take control of their CPAP and NIV mask’s fit. It also helps patients with asymmetry in their faces or patients that have gained or lost significant weight. This technology enables users to shape and mold the mask to fit their individual facial structure, resulting in a tailored and comfortable fit that minimizes leakage and pressure points.
Enhanced Comfort: Traditional CPAP and NIV masks often come in standardized sizes, which may not cater to the unique shapes and sizes of individuals’ faces. This can lead to discomfort and reduce mask effectiveness. Sleepnet’s Custom Fit Technology eliminates these issues by allowing users to customizeand maintain their mask’s shape. The ability to adjust the soft-shell mask’s fit on all sides ensures that it remains securely in place without adjusting the headgear and preventing leakage.
Improved Seal: An essential factor in the effectiveness of a CPAP or NIV mask is the seal it creates. An inadequate seal can lead to unwanted leakage and decreased comfort. Custom Fit Technology ensures that the mask adheres perfectly to the contours of the user’s face, creating an effective seal. This enhances the user’s experience.
Conclusion
Sleepnet’s Custom Fit Technology represents a continued commitment to innovation in CPAP and NIV mask design and functionality. By allowing users to tailor their CPAP and NIV mask to their unique facial contours, Sleepnet has improved the user experience with enhanced comfort, improved seal, and a personalized fit. Sleepnet’s Custom Fit Technology is here to provide a customized solution for customers.

In the face of increasing needs due to illness and chronic disease, demand for comfortable yet effective respiratory masks has never been higher. Traditional respiratory masks, often used as non-invasive (NIV) or Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) masks, have served as essential tools for advancing human health, but they often come with discomfort and limitations that hinder long-term usage. Enter AIR°gel® technology – a revolutionary advancement that combines comfort with a superior seal, addressing the shortcomings of conventional masks and offering a new level of user experience.
Understanding AIR°gel®Technology
AIR°gel® technology is a cutting-edge innovation developed by Sleepnet that aims to enhance the comfort and effectiveness of respiratory masks. It involves the incorporation of a gel-like material into the mask’s design, which conforms to the contours of the wearer’s face, creating a secure and comfortable seal. This not only ensures a snug fit but also minimizes air leakage around the edges, which is a common issue with traditional Liquid Silicon Rubber (LSR) masks.
The gel material used in this technology is soft, flexible, and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for extended wear. It is engineered to maintain its shape and elasticity over time, ensuring consistent performance and a lasting seal. It also helps to minimize sores and irritation often caused by long-term wear.
Benefits of AIR°gel® Technology
Enhanced Comfort: One of the most significant advantages of AIR°gel® technology is the unparalleled comfort it provides. The gel molds to the user’s face, reducing pressure points and minimizing discomfort caused by tight straps or rough edges. This comfortable fit encourages longer wear times, which is crucial for individuals who need to wear a respiratory mask for extended periods.
Reduces Marks & Irritation: AIR°gel® significantly reduces marks and irritation caused by long-term wear and movement. While other masks may leave painful sores, the soft gel in Sleepnet masks minimizes skin inflammation and discomfort.
Better Seal & Fit: Proper fit is vital for the effectiveness of any respiratory mask. AIR°gel® technology helps create an airtight seal, which prevents leaks. This feature significantly enhances the mask’s efficiency and reduces health risks. AIR°gel® masks provide a snug fit that adapts to individual contours, accommodating a broader range of face shapes and sizes.
User Compliance: Uncomfortable masks often lead to users adjusting or removing them, which compromises their health. With AIR°gel® technology, users are more likely to adhere to mask-wearing protocols due to the increased comfort and minimized irritation.
AIR°gel® technology marks a revolutionary leap in the field of respiratory mask design, addressing comfort and protection in a single package. By creating a custom fit, minimizing leakage, and enhancing overall wearability, this innovation has the potential to improve the efficacy of respiratory masks across various hospital and homecare settings.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) masks are a type of respiratory support used to treat patients with breathing difficulties. They provide mechanical ventilation without the need for intubation, which is the insertion of a breathing tube into the patient’s airway. NIV masks help to treat a wide range of respiratory conditions, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, and more.[1] As hospitals and medical professionals move away from intubation due its risks, the demand for NIV masks continues to grow.
How do NIV masks work?
NIV masks deliver pressurized air or oxygen through a mask placed over the patient’s nose and/or mouth. The pressurized air helps to keep the patient’s airway open, allowing them to breathe more easily. The mask stays in place with straps that wrap around the patient’s head, and healthcare staff adjust pressure levels to meet the specific requirements of each patient.
What types of NIV masks are available?
There are several types of NIV masks, which include nasal masks, full-face masks, total face masks, pediatric masks, cannulas, and nasal pillows. The type of mask medical professionals select depends on the patient’s condition and individual preferences. Nasal masks cover only the patient’s nose, while full-face masks cover both the nose and mouth. Nasal pillows are small, cushioned inserts that fit into the patient’s nostrils.
What are the benefits of NIV Masks?
One of the benefits of NIV masks is that they are non-invasive, meaning that they do not require the insertion of a breathing tube. Using an NIV mask reduces the risk of complications associated with invasive treatment, such as infections or lung damage which occasionally arise with intubation. NIV masks are also generally more comfortable for patients than invasive treatments, and they potentially reduce the time a patient spends in acute care.
NIV masks are utilized in diverse settings such as hospitals, long-term care facilities, and homes. Within hospital environments, they are commonly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) to offer respiratory support to patients who are critically ill. In long-term care facilities, NIV masks help manage chronic respiratory conditions. In the home, NIV masks function as respiratory support for patients with COPD and other chronic diseases.
While NIV masks are generally safe and effective, it’s important to note that there are potential risks associated with their usage. These include skin breakdown, pressure ulcers, discomfort, and mask leaks. This is why it is important for patients using NIV masks to be closely monitored by healthcare professionals.
NIV masks are a vital tool in treating respiratory conditions. They offer a non-invasive way to provide mechanical ventilation to patients without requiring intubation. NIV masks are generally safe and effective, but patients should be closely monitored for potential complications. If you or a loved one has a respiratory condition, talk to your healthcare provider about whether NIV masks might be a suitable treatment option.

This article delves into Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), its symptoms, risks, and treatment options.
RSV stands for Respiratory Syncytial Virus, a common viral infection that affects the respiratory tract, including the nose, throat, and lungs. It tends to cause mild, cold-like symptoms (Center for Disease Control. www.cdc.gov. Accessed 3/15/2023). “RSV is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in children younger than one in the United States” (Center for Disease Control. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV).” www.cdc.gov. Accessed 3/15/2023).
RSV primarily spreads through respiratory droplets from an infected person’s cough or sneezing. However, it can also be contracted by touching contaminated surfaces and one’s face. It is easily spread in crowded schools, daycare facilities, and nursing homes. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may last up to two weeks (Center for Disease Control. www.cdc.gov. Accessed 3/15/2023).
What are the symptoms of RSV?
In adults and older children, RSV usually causes mild cold-like signs and symptoms. Signs and symptoms of RSV most commonly appear about four to six days after exposure to the virus. (Mayo Clinic. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).” www.mayoclinic.org. Accessed 3/15/2023). These may include:
Congested or runny nose
Dry cough
Low-grade fever
Sore throat
Sneezing
Headache
According to Mayo Clinic, in severe cases, signs and symptoms may include:
Fever
Severe cough
Wheezing
Rapid breathing or difficulty breathing
Bluish color of the skin due to lack of oxygen
Unusual tiredness
Diagnosing RSV
Diagnosing RSV can be challenging as its symptoms are like the common cold. Therefore, testing usually is not required to diagnose the infection. However, according to the American Lung Association, “Doctors may suspect RSV based on a patient’s medical history, time of year, and physical exam. In this case, they may want to run lab tests to confirm the diagnosis. The most common is a mouth swab or a blood test to check white blood cell counts and look for viruses. In severe cases, additional testing, such as chest x-rays and CT scans, may be necessary” (American Lung Association. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).” lung.org. Accessed 3/15/2023).
Who suffers from RSV?
RSV can affect people of all ages but is most common in infants and young children, especially those under two (Healthline. www.healthline.com. Accessed 3/15/2023). According to the Center for Disease Control, “In the United States, 58,000-80,000 children younger than five years old are hospitalized due to RSV infection. RSV can cause severe lower respiratory tract infections such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia in young children and babies” (Center for Disease Control. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV).” www.cdc.gov. Accessed 3/15/2023). “Premature babies are at a higher risk of complications from RSV. Severe RSV can be unpredictable and is the leading cause of infant hospitalization” (American Lung Association. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV).” www.lung.org. Accessed 3/15/2023).
“People with weakened immune systems, such as older adults, are also at higher risk of severe illness from RSV. Adults with RSV typically have mild cold-like symptoms. However, some adults may develop a lung infection or pneumonia. Older adults are at greater risk than young adults for severe complications from RSV because our immune systems weaken as we age” (Center for Disease Control. “Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV).” www.cdc.gov. Accessed 3/15/2023).
Massachusetts General Hospital for Children (Massachusetts General Hospital. www.massgeneral.org. Accessed 3/16/2023) has recommended steps you can take to help prevent the spread of RSV:
Wash hands often with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
Keep hands away from face, nose, and mouth.
Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue and inside of the elbow.
Clean high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, counters, and toys.
Avoid close contact with someone who has RSV.
Limit time spent in crowded areas.
Stay home if you are sick.
Consider the following scenario regarding RSV:
A month-old infant was present at a large family gathering, where many were meeting him for the first time. He was being held and kissed by several family members. A few days later, he developed a cough, wheeze, and fever. He was diagnosed with a severe case of RSV. He was admitted to the ICU and put on a ventilator to help with this breathing.
RSV is a common viral infection that can result in hospitalization in severe instances. It is essential to be aware of the symptoms to treat them promptly and prevent hospitalization. It is crucial to take the recommended precautions to stop the spread of RSV, particularly in infants and older adults, before it leads to hospitalization.
