Medical Conditions & Sleep Apnea

If you suspect you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), experience excessive daytime sleepiness, or have been told you stop breathing during sleep, you must consult a licensed healthcare professional.

Usage Guidelines

Nasal Strips

Single Use: To maintain hygiene and adhesive integrity, strips are for one-time use only.

Post-Surgery: Do not use if you have undergone nasal surgery in the last 6 months unless cleared by your surgeon.

Mouth Tape

Nasal Clearance: Ensure you can breathe comfortably through your nose before applying.

Impairment: DO NOT USE after consuming alcohol, sedatives, or any medication that may impair your ability to wake up or react to breathing discomfort.

Illness: Do not use if you are experiencing nausea, vomiting, or heavy chest congestion.

Skin Sensitivity & Removal

While our adhesives are hypoallergenic, skin types vary.

Patch Test: Apply a small piece to the inner arm for 30 minutes before first facial use.

Gentle Removal: To minimize the risk of skin "stripping," remove the product slowly. Applying warm water or a small amount of facial oil to the edges can assist in a smoother release.
