Rematee Positional sleep apnoea treatment belt

Description

The positional apnoea treatment belt from Rematee is a simple, non-invasive device used as an alternative treatment to CPAP in patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea. It consists of a belt which is worn around the torso, fitted with a series of pockets into which small inflatable bumpers are inserted. When the bumpers are pressed against the back, they make it hard for the patient to sleep on their back, thereby reducing the number of apnoea events.

This device stands out for its ease of use, as it requires no complicated adjustment and allows users to move freely during the night, with no restrictions. Its lightness and easy transport allow the user to take them away from home if they travel or sleep away relatively often. This makes them an affordable, simple option for many patients who have difficulty tolerating or adapting to CPAP treatment.

For best results of the therapy, it is advisable to make sure the belt is fitted correctly, just below the chest and just tight enough to stay in place without causing discomfort. In the first days of using the belt, to get used to it, users are advised to do some initial training by sleeping on their side with the belt for short periods of time before using it all night.

While the postural treatment belt is effective in many cases of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea, it is not suitable for all of them. Therefore, a healthcare professional should be consulted beforehand to assess whether it is the appropriate option in view of the patient’s individual needs.
