Why Provent® Therapy
A convenient and effective alternative that fits your lifestyle
Provent Therapy is discreet, disposable, and simple to operate. It requires no masks, tubes, or machines. It’s also small and convenient, so it’s easy to take with you if you’re away overnight.
Provent Therapy may take some getting used to but most patients agree it’s worth it. In as little as three nights, you could be sleeping more quietly and peacefully. And Provent patients have been shown to wake up refreshed and are better able to focus on daily tasks.
You’re also likely to enjoy better sleep with your sleep partner, especially if he or she is bothered by your snoring or CPAP machine. Of course, like anything new, it requires patience. You might not see results right away, and it can take a few nights before it becomes a comfortable part of your sleep routine.
Obstructive sleep apnea isn’t just tough on patients, it’s tough on relationships. The Provent Nasal Device can help people with OSA overcome many of the problems associated with OSA. And your partner will rest assured that you are being treated.
Clinical studies have shown that 83% of subjects experienced a snoring reduction with Provent Therapy. And among OSA subjects that snored, Provent Therapy reduced snoring to trace or none in 58%. It can also improve daytime alertness and mental function. Plus, it’s discreet, and noise free, allowing you and your sleep partner to sleep in the same room without a machine. Best of all, you can be assured that while you are handling your obstructive sleep apnea, you are also helping your partner get a peaceful night’s sleep.
OSA leads to narrowing of the airway, which can cause disrupted sleep. Over time, chronic sleep disruptions can make you feel tired, and lead to many health problems.
The Provent Nasal Device fits over both nostrils and uses a proprietary MicroValve design that creates pressure which keeps the airway open. As you inhale, airflow is nearly unobstructed, allowing for normal breathing. As you exhale, the MicroValve closes, directing air through small air channels, increasing resistance. This resistance creates EPAP (Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure), which props open the airway until you inhale again.
Provent works much like CPAP therapy, except instead of an external machine, your own breathing creates the pressure that keeps your airway open. Like CPAP, it needs to be worn every night to effectively relieve symptoms of OSA. It may take time before you start to feel like you’re sleeping normally and waking up refreshed.
For many patients, the Provent Device is an effective treatment for OSA while allowing them more freedom to travel, enjoy their sleep partner, and live their lives.
