Philips Respironics introduces GoLife for Men nasal pillows mask designed exclusively to meet the needs of male patients

WHAT:  Philips Respironics GoLife for Men nasal pillows mask is used in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).  The product is the company’s first sleep therapy mask built exclusively for men.

WHY:    Designed to be the most stable nasal pillows mask available, GoLife for Men has facial contour arms that conform to and hug the patient’s face to maintain a secure seal and stability, even when moving during sleep.  The mask features straightforward, preformed headgear and self-adjusting, optimally angled nasal pillows for a one-step fit.

“When designing GoLife for Men, we listened to what sleep therapy providers, clinicians, and male patients told us they wanted in a nasal pillows mask,” said Maura Weis, director, Sleep Marketing, North America, Philips Home Healthcare Solutions.  “As a result, it is engineered for stability, designed for simplicity, and built for men.  GoLife for Men takes the complexity out of achieving successful nasal pillows therapy for male patients.  In the near future, we will release our GoLife for Women mask, which will offer the same customized features designed for a female patient’s face.”

GoLife has few parts, comes in a FitPack with all sizes (petite, small, medium, and large), and is easy to size and fit.  Used together with Philips Respironics System One Resistance Control, the mask helps to deliver optimum PAP therapy and comfort.
