Camarillo Moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment: CPAP Alternative Announced

Thousand Oaks-based Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center (+1-805-557-9930) has expanded its Bongo Rx therapy, offering a more convenient alternative to the traditional CPAP devices.

Following the expansion, more patients across Ventura County will have access to Bongo Rx - an FDA-cleared treatment for people suffering from mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Bongo Rx is expected to be highly sought-after because it uses discreet, soft silicone nasal pillows, which are a more convenient alternative to the cumbersome, loud CPAP devices.

The National Library of Medicine evaluated 82 different CPAP studies that encompassed a twenty-year timeframe, finding that over 34% of patients do not adhere to CPAP usage requirements - with many abandoning the device altogether. As obstructive sleep apnea is a dangerous condition, the newly announced Bongo Rx therapy can be an easy-to-wear solution for patients who struggle with consistent CPAP usage.

The Bongo Rx device, which appears similar to nose plugs, is placed in the nasal openings. It contains miniature valves that open when a wearer inhales during their sleep, leading to normal breathing. Upon exhalation, the valves direct air through vents to create Expiratory Positive Airway Pressure, reducing the negative effects of obstructive sleep apnea.

Unlike a CPAP device, Bongo Rx does not require any electricity. The Southern California Pulmonary and Sleep Disorders Medical Center also explains that it can be used as a supplement to CPAP usage, as patients can rely on their mask at home while taking the nasal pillows while traveling or camping instead of having to bring their machine, humidifier, hose, and batteries.

Cleared by the FDA, the Bongo Rx is entirely created and crafted in the United States. The device can be simply cleaned at home with soap and water for repeat usage.

The sleep clinic offers another effective CPAP alternative known as Inspire Therapy, which is an implantable device that works from within the body. It stimulates movement of the tongue and other muscles that block airways, leading to a reduction in OSA symptoms.

A longtime patient of the clinic said the following about their experience, “I started going to Doctor Popper's office many years ago when my doctor recommended I do a sleep study testing for sleep apnea. On my first sleep study, I had high anxiety and was very worried about sleeping away from home. However, the technician was very competent, as well as very calming, which helped to alleviate my anxiety. I'm very pleased with all the help Dr. Popper has given me all these years.”
