CPAP is the most widely used therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea. A device increases the air pressure in the throat through a mask, so that the airways are not blocked when you breathe in. Despite being very effective, it has numerous secondary effects and it requires a period of adaptation.

There are also positional therapies based on passive techniques, such as attaching a tennis ball to the back, or postural pillows. However, these are disruptive and uncomfortable.

The latest advances in the treatment of OSA and positional snoring take us to Somnibel, the first patented active posture 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.
