This is achieved through a small nasal device placed just inside the nasal openings, held in place by a hypoallergenic adhesive. Upon inhalation, small valves in the nasal device open and allow you to breathe as normal. When exhaling, the valves close. This directs the exhaled air through small vent holes and generates EPAP. In this way, your airway is kept open until you inhale again, reducing the effects of obstructive sleep apnea. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe nasal device must be used nightly, as with CPAP therapy.
