In the event that you have an AirSense 10 CPAP machine, you are already aware of the extent to which it can make you sleep better. Did you realize that making your therapy more comfortable and effective can also be achieved through the addition of the right accessories? Even minor improvements would alter the way you sleep, the ease by which you operate your machine and even make it portable. The following is a glimpse of some of the accessories that most individuals have found useful with the AirSense 10.

 

Making Your Therapy More Comfortable

Comfort is one of the first things that individuals are going to see with regards to CPAP therapy. AirSense 10 is equipped with an ordinary mask and tubing, yet the accessories can contribute to a more pleasant experience. As an example, mask cushions/liners are excellent in case you wake up with redness on your face or feel dry. They form a cushion between your skin and the mask and some individuals believe that this cuts down on leaks as well.

 

Another accessory that is valued by a number of users is the use of heated tubing. It prevents the condensation in the tube that may result in uncomfortable and noisy therapy. It also makes the air warmer in colder rooms that may make breathing more natural. Although the AirSense 10 has an inbuilt humidifier, it can still be improved with antagonistic application of the humidifier alongside the tubes that are heated.

 

Keeping Your Machine Clean and Efficient

It is important to clean and maintain your AirSense 10 not only to keep healthy, but also to keep the machine long lasting. Such accessories as filter packs are necessary. The machine is supplied with simple filters, yet having several replacements would guarantee that you could change them on a regular basis. This will help keep the air clean and will not allow dust or allergens to interfere with your therapy.

 

Another useful accessory is the travel cases. In case you have to carry AirSense 10 somewhere, a padded case will help to keep the machine safe and all the parts organised. Others even include lockers containing masks, tubing, and power cords, and therefore, packaged much easier. This can be a game changer to individuals who have to travel a lot.

 

Enhancing Convenience

One might also find it more convenient to use the AirSense 10 with the help of small accessories. A CPAP stand or nightstand holder would be a good example that would ensure that the machine is stable and that the tubing is not in the way when you are asleep. This may come in handy particularly when you turn about a great deal during your sleep or during co-sleeping.

 

Specialized adapters or hose lifts can also be used to reduce the constriction of the tubing, these are device specific. They also ensure that the tube does not draw your mask, thus eliminating leakage and ensuring that your therapy is steady during the night. Even basic things such as additional water chambers to the humidifier save your time as you can fill them when the other one is drying.

 

Personal Comfort Accessories

Other users have a habit of including minor things that make therapy more personal. An example is that soft headgear covers can minimize irritation behind the ears or the head. The pillow alternatives which are made to fit CPAP users leave room where the mask and tubing are thus to be able to sleep in other positions without always disrupting the seal. Even such trifles can be used to make the therapy process feel much less obtrusive and more natural.

 

Making the Most of Your AirSense 10

The AirSense 10 is a strong CPAP machine, which is already a strong machine but accessories can get it to a higher level. They render therapy more comfortable, convenient as well as reliable. There are mask cushions, traveling cases, hot tubing, and additional filters among others that have been added to make sure you achieve your best results with minimum inconvenience.

 

In selecting your accessories, you should ensure that you do so in a way that they are compatible with you AirSense 10 and that they are in your lifestyle. All accessories are not required by all people, but you can test out some out and enhance your comfort at night and make therapy more fun.
