ENCORE MOBILITY WHEELCHAIR
BRODA

Philips has sold over 15 million masks and interchange- able cushions. The company continues to build on DreamWear’s user-centric design with the goal of improving the sleep experience and therapy adher- ence, and this July, it introduced updated DreamWear Headgear with Arms for its DreamWear Nasal and Gel Pillows masks.
The new, three-piece design places the headgear further down on the head and adds arm pieces around the mask to further improve stability during use. Patients using the updated headgear stated it is even more stable and comfortable, highlighting that the mask stays in place during use and that they were more satisfied with their quality of sleep.
SLEEP – THERAPY SYSTEMS
DREAMSTATION GO WITH HUMIDIFIER
PHILIPS

Last in Philips trifecta is the DreamStation Go with Humidifier. Sleep therapy patients need therapy they can take on the road with them, and that means they put a premium on size. In that regard, the DreamStation Go with Humidifier is the thinnest CPAP heated humidifier among leading brands, and can be used with tap or bottled water for added convenience when distilled water is not available. Featuring the same humidification modes as DreamStation and the freedom to use any CPAP mask, the Go humidifier is a “no compromise” sleep therapy solution for travelers looking for added comfort while on the go.
Humidification is the latest update to DreamStation Go, which is designed to simplify travel for patients living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). It features a built-in power supply that helps to limit the number of compo- nents to pack as well as Philips’ innovative 12mm micro- flexible tubing, minimizing bulk while improving mobility and comfort. DreamStation Go meets FAA standards
for in-flight use, so users can keep up with therapy even when taking an extended or red-eye flight.

SLEEP – RESUPPLY ITEMS & RELATED SLEEP PRODUCTS
DREAMWEAR HEADGEAR WITH ARMS
PHILIPS
www.usa.philips.com
This marks the second in Philip’s awards this year. Since launching its DreamWear CPAP mask system,
Set-in sleeves provide additional coverage for patients’ shoulders and upper arms, and sewn-in axillary pads provide additional pressure for problem underarm area. The sewn-in pads are especially convenient for sleeping, since there are no additional fasteners to hold pads in place and thus no need to worry about keeping the pads in place. These replace the use of individual chip pads. If patients don’t want pads they can opt to get pads on only one side, or they can opt to have no pads at all.
