Ultra Universal Chin Strap by CareFusion

The Ultra Chin Strap by CareFusion will help keep your mouth closed during therapy by supporting the bottom of your chin with a strap around the top of your head. The Chin strap will not interfere with your CPAP mask.

Chin straps are intended to be used in conjunction with nasal or nasal pillow CPAP masks to help keep your mouth from opening and experiencing what is called "jaw drop". Jaw drop just simply means that your mouth is dropping open during your sleep causing the therapeutic pressure to start escaping out of your mouth therefore rendering your therapy less effective.

This chinstrap is a "one size fits most" chin strap. If you know that you have an unusually large head or abnormally small head than you should try a chin strap that offers a small size or an extra large size.

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.
