What is a nasal pillow device?
A nasal pillow device seals against the outside edge of each nostril rather than around the entire nose. The pillows open into the nostril but are not inserted inside to seal. This device is helpful for people who sleep on their side or stomach, or for those with facial hair. It is sold with different pillow sizes for ease of fit.
Similar to a nasal mask, a nasal pillow device seals the nose area at the edge of the patient’s nostril. Unlike nasal masks that cover the entire nose. It comes in different pillow sizes to allow for a better fitting. Nasal pillow devices are best used by individuals with OSA who usually lie on their stomach or on their sides. This device is also recommended for people with facial hair.
