Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy is the most widely used treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. A CPAP machine delivers a steady stream of pressurised air through a mask worn during sleep, keeping the airway open and helping to prevent the breathing interruptions that characterise OSA.

At Blooms The Chemist, the CPAP machine range includes auto-adjusting devices that automatically vary pressure throughout the night based on your breathing patterns and may be recommended for some users depending on their therapy needs. Connected models allow therapy data to be shared remotely with your healthcare provider. For those who travel or want a compact option, travel CPAP devices are also available.

How to choose a CPAP machine
- Auto-adjusting vs fixed pressure: Auto-adjusting (APAP) machines automatically vary pressure throughout the night based on your breathing patterns and may be recommended for some users depending on their therapy needs.
- Humidification: Built-in humidifiers help reduce dryness of the nose and throat, which is a common comfort issue for CPAP users.
- Data and connectivity: Machines with app connectivity or wireless data transfer allow you and your care team to monitor therapy progress remotely.
- Travel needs: If you travel regularly, a compact travel CPAP device can provide full therapy in a lightweight, portable design.
A Blooms The Chemist CPAP specialist can help you select the right machine based on your prescription, lifestyle, and preferences.
