Problem
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea are often caused by the collapse or narrowing of the upper airway during sleep. This can lead to disrupted sleep, reduced oxygen levels, and increased risk of cardiovascular and other health problems.
Solution
Nastent offers a nasal tube device designed to maintain airway patency during sleep, reducing snoring and mitigating the effects of mild sleep apnea. The device consists of a soft, flexible silicone tube that is inserted through the nose and extends to the uvula, physically preventing the airway from collapsing. By maintaining an open airway, Nastent promotes鼻呼吸 (nasal breathing), reduces the vibrations that cause snoring, and improves sleep quality. The device is designed for comfortable, extended use, with most users adapting to it within a few days.
