[PR-USA.net press release] — When asked what bothers them most about their existing CPAPs, most sleep apnea patients reveal there are hurdles to using and traveling with them. They’re bulky and difficult to pack, depend on a reliable power source, and require distilled water for humidification. Add it all up and it’s a hassle. Transcend, a new sleep apnea therapy device soon to be released for sale direct to consumers, overcomes the burdens faced by many sleep apnea patients.

When asked what bothers them most about their existing CPAPs, most sleep apnea patients reveal there are hurdles to using and traveling with them. They’re bulky and difficult to pack, depend on a reliable power source, and require distilled water for humidification. Add it all up and it’s a hassle.

Transcend, a new sleep apnea therapy device soon to be released for sale direct to consumers, overcomes the burdens faced by many sleep apnea patients. In fact, Transcend’s unique design—which is lightweight, compact and durable—and revolutionary technology were developed to meet the needs of the sleep apnea patient on the go.

By putting the lifestyle and comfort of sleep apnea patients first, Transcend is emerging as the missing link in the evolution of sleep apnea therapy to truly open new vistas for patients. Soon the freedom to sleep anywhere—in a tent, on the road, or even at home and wake up refreshed from a full night of therapeutic, restorative sleep—will be a reality.

About Sleep Apnea
According to the American Sleep Apnea Association, nearly 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea and those with obstructive sleep apnea—a condition that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep when the soft tissue in the throat collapses—tend to have high blood pressure, heart problems, headaches, and memory problems. OSA can also be linked to job impairment and motor vehicle crashes. Both men and women can develop sleep apnea, but it is more common in men, particularly middle-age men who are also overweight. Approximately half of those suffering from sleep apnea also have a snoring problem.
