Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious, often underdiagnosed condition that disrupts breathing during sleep and can lead to long-term health issues like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cognitive decline. CPAP therapy remains the gold standard for treatment, but up to 50% of users report difficulty adhering to traditional CPAP therapy due to discomfort, air leaks, or claustrophobia. This has led many patients to explore alternatives – most notably the Inspire® implant and the innovative CPAP PRO® NoMask system.

Let’s break down the key differences to help you make an informed choice.

Inspire® is a surgically implanted device placed under the skin of the neck and chest. It works by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve (the nerve that controls tongue movement) to help keep the airway open during sleep. Inspire® is typically reserved for individuals with moderate to severe OSA who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy. Once implanted, it’s activated each night via remote and works in sync with your breathing.

While effective for many, Inspire® is an invasive procedure with surgical risks, post-operative recovery, and potential complications such as infections, nerve irritation, and the need for revision surgery.

CPAP PRO® offers an effective, non-invasive alternative that eliminates many of the issues associated with both CPAP masks and surgical implants. Instead of using a bulky mask or undergoing surgery, CPAP PRO® utilizes a comfortable, custom-fit Boil ’N Bite mouthpiece and soft Lite-Touch Silicone Nasal Puffs™ to deliver air pressure therapy—all without headgear or straps.

Key Benefits of CPAP PRO®:

• No Mask, No Headgear: Say goodbye to claustrophobia, pressure sores, and tangled straps.
• Custom-Fit Comfort: The Boil ’N Bite design provides a secure fit that adapts to your dental structure.
• 360° Freedom: The nasal interface remains stable in any sleep position, reducing air leaks and interruptions.
• Quiet & Portable: Whisper Quiet Performance™ ensures a restful night without the noise of traditional CPAP setups.
• Non-Invasive: No surgery, no recovery time, and no implanted devices.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to Inspire®, which can cost $30,000-$40,000, CPAP PRO® is more affordable and often covered by insurance.

The journey to better sleep doesn’t have to be invasive or uncomfortable. CPAP PRO® was born from the personal struggles of its founder, “CPAP Joe,” who faced many of the same obstacles patients report – leaks, irritation, and low compliance. Frustrated with traditional devices, he set out to create a better solution.

More than two decades later, CPAP PRO® stands as a revolutionary option that helps patients stay consistent with therapy – comfortably and effectively.

• Air Leaks: The secure dental fit and flexible nasal puffs minimize leaks, even during movement.
• Skin Irritation: No straps means no pressure points, red marks, or rashes.
• Claustrophobia: The maskless design eliminates the feeling of being trapped or enclosed.
• Travel Hassles: Lightweight, easy to pack, and no bulky machines or implants to worry about.

In July 2024, Inspire Medical Systems issued a recall for 32 Inspire® IV implantable pulse generators due to a manufacturing defect that could lead to electrical malfunction, painful stimulation, or loss of therapy. While no deaths were reported, the FDA classified this as the most serious type of recall, underlining the risks of implantable devices. CPAP PRO® users, by contrast, avoid such complications entirely through a non-surgical design.

CPAP PRO® offers a revolutionary alternative to both traditional CPAP therapy and surgically implanted solutions like Inspire®. Designed for comfort, ease of use, and long-term compliance, it addresses the top concerns that prevent many patients from sticking with sleep apnea therapy.

If you’ve struggled with CPAP or are exploring alternatives to avoid surgery, CPAP PRO® may be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
