Adjustable Chin Strap for CPAP

Chin straps are useful for those who wear a nasal CPAP mask or a nasal pillow mask but are also known as a mouth breather. If your mouth is opening during therapy you are losing CPAP pressure because the air is just escaping out of your mouth leaving your therapy ineffective. Using a chin strap will help solve this problem for many patients. The soft material wraps around the bottom of your chin and the top of your head to help keep your mouth closed so you can get the therapy you need. Please be aware that this product contains Neoprene.

Spirit Medical is the manufacturer of this widely popular RUBY chin strap and is comparable to the popular PureSom Ruby Chin Strap (part numbers TMS-09ADJ and TMS-09ADJXL). These chin straps are made from the highest quality material and are recommended by thousands of users as an effective option for mouth breathers.

Why Use a Chin Strap?

Are You a Mouth Breather? If you wake up with a dry mouth or throat, it may mean you are mouth breathing, and a chin strap can help keep your mouth shut.

High CPAP Pressures Cause Air Leakage: A partner may notice air escaping your mouth, or you might experience snoring. A chin strap helps maintain a proper seal by preventing this.

Mask Stability: It can help stabilize a CPAP mask or prevent you from taking it off while partially asleep.

How to Use a Chin Strap

The Right Fit: Ensure the strap is snug but not too tight. Overly tight straps can cause discomfort, breathing issues, jaw misalignment, or make TMJ symptoms worse.

Facial Hair Users: If you have a beard, you may need a larger size with a bigger chin cup and wider straps.

Ask Your Doctor: A doctor or sleep specialist can help determine if a chin strap is appropriate and can address any underlying issues, like nasal congestion that makes it hard to breathe through the nose.

Chin Strap Warnings

Must Be Used with CPAP: A chin strap is not a treatment for sleep apnea on its own. It must be used with a CPAP machine.

Possible Side Effects: Discomfort, jaw soreness, or skin irritation can occur. If the strap causes pain or breathing difficulties, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.
