I use a cpap machine, but have trouble with air leaking through my mouth. Dr recommends I tape my mouth shut at night. Will this work without leaving

I tape my mouth at night with my CPAP machine--per the recommendations of the different medical specialists I've seen--so that I don't have to use a full face mask. I am planning on buying this tape because they've all recommended medical porous paper tape. The sleep clinic recently used one just like this on me--also made by 3M. It was very comfortable, adhered well and was easy to remove with no residue. I expect this to be the same.

yes, this is what I use it for. I fold over one end by about 1/8th-1/4" to provide a tab for removing it. It does sometimes leave a slight residue. I use an alcohol prep pad to remove any residue.

Lisa - I wouldn't use this tape because it doesn't have very much adhesive. It's a fine tape with which to adhere gauze to the skin. Easy on the skin. There's no way I can envision this providing an air seal. Why don't you simply use a jaw strap?

This is a light tape but May leave some residue. I generally use it on wounds and there is some adhesive residue when I change the bandages after 24 hours. I use a Cpap and am wondering why you don t try a full face mask if you don t like a nasal mask

I really can not say for sure , My Thoughts , My skin is thin so tear easy , i can use this tape , with a little patients remove it without damage , it holds very well , a little moisture will let it release , it is well worth a try , Good Luck . Have A Great Day .

This tape is top quality with excellent adhesion. I recommend it and use it for many of my own medical needs all the time.

I have a CPAP but I have not used the cobra on it, my cpap is electrical and not battery powered, so I really can't answer I have an old CPAP :-), but give it a try and see what happens.

Oh yeah, I use mine in the office and people have to tap me on the shoulder to get my attention. They are awesome. But someone on a proper C-Pap mask should not snore so you should be okay either way! Have a quiet trip!

I was never able to get my CPAP hooked up correctly. I have not been able to match plugs sizes for the CPAP machine so I don't know where the problem lies. I should point out that I tried hooking this up on the plane for the first time, so that might have something to do with it.The CPAP had a standard 2 prong plug. The single cylinder prong was the issue plugging into the CPAP battery.

I put a piece of surgical tape on my 11s when I go to sleep. The tape doesn't have to be to pressed into your skin, just apply gently. Your face won't move during sleep. Makes a big difference. All without botox! Works on area above lips too.

I think the plug on the mask allows air to flow into the mask from near the face piece (instead of all the way through the cpap) while maintaining the same pressure level in the mask.

I sleep my stomach at times with little trouble should be no problem if you wear a mask it will not work

It really depends on one's teeth.I personally have some teeth which are very close together. Fine dental floss gets through, but the Air Flosser does not. It tries to shoot the mouthwash+air through and makes a clicking noise, which means it's being blocked. So I wouldn't consider this a be all and end all floss replacement, but as an "in addition to" solution.

I use it on the night stand when I sleep.It is louder than my CPAP machine, but not bothersome. I usually use it on low or med and find it makes for nice sleeping.

I don't see why not. I am using it in a dental office to replace a steam sterilizer that stopped working. If it doesn't hurt baby bottle nipples, then it should be safe for the CPAP mask and tubes.

Thank you for replying to my question. I was wondering if it would work with a CPAP machine.

Most likely not the draw of a cpap would well exceed the 10 amp hour battery's life. I would recommend looking into a Honda or other similar inverter generator. They are very quiet, very fuel efficient and light weight.

Hi Janice,I agree with others that have answered you. The guard fits loosely and keeps your tongue from bothering your teeth. So, once you get used to it, and place it in your mouth, you will not remember at a point you are using it and can sleep all night without any problems at all.

Not quite sure what you mean about a noise reducer. This is a noise amplifier. My answer has to be "NO" based on what I think you mean. If your partner has a snoring problem , my advice is to put a CPAP mask on him. I've used one for years because I am a very bad snorer. Although I hate it, my wife says it works fine!!

I believe so, However there is so many different type of hose for these CPAP machine. it is confusing. I honestly gambled and bought it for my philips machine. I did work for me.

I am not a CPAP user, but I do tend to open my mouth while I'm sleeping and this takes care of that. Furthermore, I have chronic headaches and generally do not like to have anything on my head, but this is comfortable.

I think it does honestly. The small cut out in the middle of the mouthpiece allows for easier breathing and the guard itself keeps your jaw aligned, therefore I'd think your airway would be consistently open? I used to snore at times, but haven't noticed snoring anymore.
