Premium Chin Strap - Black
Chin Strap for Optimal TherapyThe Premium Chin Strap (in Black) by Philips Respironics is a high-quality piece of material designed to help prevent air leaks by keeping the mouths of patients closed during therapy. This chin strap is easy to adjust and will allow patients to attain a comfortable, personalized fit without hassle. To apply, simply place your chin inside the chin cup and then wrap the strap around the top of your head; then adjust the strap to suit your particular head size and shape.
Perfect for Mouth BreathersMouth breathing can present a problem during sleep apnea therapy as it tends to cause dry mouth. The premium chin strap from Respironics will prevent your mouth from staying open and will optimize your therapy. The chin strap functions as a convenient alternative for those who do not wish to wear a full face mask.
Cleaning and MaintenanceThe premium chin strap by Respironics can be cleaned by hand or washing machine. If you choose to clean your chin strap using a machine, be sure to wash it in cold water gently and then line dry it. Hand washing will usually extend the life of your chin strap by an appreciable margin, however, so it is generally recommended.
