A member asked:

Hi doctors. are there any treatments for sleep apnea that use more portable masks or equipment? the old cpap masks seem to be very bulky?

The newer CPAP devices are much smaller and the interface with your nose and mouth devices are much more comfortable and manageable. I would check with your doctor and ask for a referral to a medical supply company that can demonstrate these new editions to the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Multiple newer devices have been developed, and many are essentially portable, including newer CPAP units. Dental splints may suffice, and ENT offices offer new approaches which may make some sense. Rarely, a palato-uvulo-plasty procedure can make sense.
