Selecting the correct mask seal and headgear is essential for compliance. Explore seal mechanics, leak mitigation, and silent exhalation technology in LENA and CARA masks.
Patient compliance in sleep apnea therapy depends fundamentally on interface fit and comfort. A poorly fitting mask leads to air leaks, dry mouth, skin redness, and abandoned treatment.
Full Face masks (like LENA and CARA Full Face) cover both the mouth and nose, making them ideal for mouth breathers or patients requiring higher pressure settings above 15 cmH2O.
Nasal interfaces provide a smaller footprint for active sleepers who breathe predominantly through their nose. Modern ball-and-socket joints and 360-degree rotating elbows eliminate hose pull during sleep position changes.
