ResMed Adjustable Chin Strap for CPAP Therapy

Improve your CPAP therapy setup with the ResMed Adjustable Chin Strap, also known as the ResMed Chin Restraint. Designed for people who use positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy with nasal or nasal pillow masks, this accessory helps limit mouth opening during sleep and minimize air escaping through the mouth.

During nasal CPAP therapy, some users experience mouth opening while sleeping. This can contribute to mouth air leaks and leave the mouth feeling dry. The ResMed Chin Restraint provides gentle support around the chin to help keep the mouth comfortably closed during therapy.

Adjustable Support for Your CPAP Routine

The ResMed chin strap features a simple single-strap design with adjustable fastening. It wraps around the chin and secures over the top of the head, allowing the fit to be adjusted for individual support.

Its soft chin cup and stretchable side strap are designed to provide comfortable support without requiring complicated adjustments.

Designed for Nasal and Nasal Pillow Masks

This accessory is intended for use with a wide range of compatible nasal, nasal pillow, and cradle mask systems. It can also be positioned over or under many CPAP mask headgear arrangements, depending on the mask setup.

Simple to Fit and Maintain

The adjustable fastening makes it straightforward to put on and remove. When the strap becomes dirty, it can be hand-washed using warm water and mild detergent, rinsed thoroughly, and allowed to dry.

A Practical Addition to Your Sleep Therapy Supplies

If you experience mouth opening during nasal CPAP therapy, the ResMed Adjustable Chin Strap may be an accessory worth discussing with your sleep healthcare provider.
