What Pro2 is Up2

Until recently, traveling with CPAP meant dedicating an entire bag to your machine, humidifier, mask, and accessories.

But advancements in the technology have made traveling with CPAP much easier.

For frequent travelers or campers, there is Transcend. Transcend is the smallest, lightest, most portable CPAP on the market. It weighs less than one pound and fits in the palm of your hand. Utilizing a waterless humidification system called a heat moisture exchange (HME), the unit recycles moisture from the air you breathe out into the air that you breathe in.

A second option for those who don't want the hassle of packing a machine at all is Provent. It utilizes your own breathing to treat your obstructive sleep apnea.

The device itself is completely disposable. You wear a new pair each night, then discard when you wake up in the morning. They're placed just inside the nostrils and a hypoallergenic adhesive keeps them secure. When you inhale, flow is normal. During exhalation, the device directs flow through small holes which increase airway pressure (similar to what a CPAP device does).
