ULTepap ™ is indicated for use in the treatment of mild to moderate Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adults> 66bs.

The ULTepap™ is a single patient, reusable device intended to treat mild to moderate OSA. It is comprised of a soft silicon rubber body that contains a pair of bi-resistance airflow cartridges, has flanges to attach headgear, and has nasal pillows to interface with the nares. The device is held in place on the patients face by means of a common CPAP mask headgear which is provided in the packaging. The device creates a therapeutic level of positive pressure on exhalation by means of the airflow cartridges that allow air to enter the patient's upper airway without resistance on inhalation and created resistance to airflow on exhalation. The airflow cartridges are comprised of a cylinder and a flexible thin-walled shell which are aligned with the nasal pillows to allow unimpeded inspiration and partially restricted expiration to create the appropriate level of therapeutic back pressure. The thin-walled shells collapse on inspiration and re-inflate on expiration and create a restricted area for expiration by inflating and sealing the inner diameter of the cylinder, forcing expiration through a series of channels molded in the cylinder.
