Hair breakage with headgear

Is there any way to use the nasal mask without headgear?

  1. I use bleep eclipse too. Have to agree it's a great mask and my insurance covers it. Check it out. #sleepapneaawareness

    1. I have been using CPAP for years and just noticed hair breakage recently! #sleepapneaawareness

      1. Hi there, thank you for your question. As of now, there is an alternative to nasal mask without headgear and it's called Eclipse by a company called Bleep Sleep. A Google search will take you to their website. It looks intriguing and I'd be curious to try it myself, but it's not available in my country (Canada) as yet so I won't be able to claim it on my insurance. I see you also mentioned hair breakage. Here is a a great article from one of our patient leaders about how to prevent hair breakage: https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/cpap-hair-protection.
