Product Description
The SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap
This easy-to-use chin strap is the top choice because it is easy to use, has a secure fit and it's COMFORTABLE! No guessing on sizes because it is adjustable.
Brand new, SP Medical Adjustable Chin Strap (velcro adjustments). There are adjustable straps at both the crown of the head and at the base of the neck. This chin strap is great for mouth breathers. The Adjustable chin strap is intended for use by adults to help prevent some of the nasal and oral drying that can occur during Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and bi-level therapy. The Adjustable chin strap helps to prevent air flow leaking from your mouth by holding your chin in a stable position which encourages breathing through your nose.
Due to hygiene purposes this item is non-returnable.

 Understanding the purpose of a chin strap March 26, 2010
Guy Macon (Los Angeles,CA USA)

Reading some of the other reviews, it appears that some folks are buying this without knowing what the purpose of the item is. One reviewer wrote "the strap did not move my lower jaw forward." Chin straps are not designed to move your jaw forward. He needs to buy a mandibular advancement mouthpiece/splint for that. Another reviewer appears to believe that a chin strap alone treats sleep apnea. It doesn't. As he discovered, it just annoys you when you wake up gasping for air. What a chins strap does do is keep your mouth closed while using a nasal CPAP machine, thus reducing air leaking through the mouth. The alternative is to switch to a CPAP mask that covers the nose and mouth. If you are reviewing a chin strap, it would be very helpful to mention what kind of mask you are using and whether you are new to CPAP or switching from another brand of chin strap.
Another thing to keep in mind is that new chin strap users may need a few days to get used to the strap. Whatever you do, do not abandon your CPAP therapy. Untreated, sleep apnea leads to a miserable life and an early death. It took me weeks to get the right mask and chin strap and to get everything adjusted right. At times I thought that CPAP was a huge bother for very little benefit. Once I got settled in and used to this strange new equipment strapped to my head, it literally changed my life. Don't give up.

I have only gone through one other chin strap, one made by Respironics. The SP Medical chin strap is superior. It's made from a higher grade of rubber, has more robust stiching and is very soft. Adjustable from two velcro closure points, this is a good product.
Well made, comfortable January 15, 2010

I bought this for a relative for use by itself to stop snoring / sleep apnea, after recent studies show that a strap alone (without the CPAP machine) can be effective. This person cannot tolerate use of the CPAP machine. The strap has been partially effective, doesn't eliminate but substantially reduces snoring. Hard to say how much improvement, but the person is better rested, certainly has provided a worthwhile benefit. This strap is well made. It has two velro attachment points. It's fairly soft. None of these straps will be extremely comfortable, but this is probably as comfortable as a strap could be.
Way better than Tiara Medical Chin Straps February 11, 2010

I have had two problems with the Tiara Medical chin straps provided by my insurance company - my head was too small for the chin strap (it was supposed to be a one size fits all), and the loop-and-hook pads were worthless. THIS chin strap is awesome. I love it enough I am buying another to have on reserve. I am using this comfortably with a ResMed Mirage Swift Nasal Pillows System CPAP mask with no problems.
90% relief from dry mouth from CPAP machine use using chin strap May 16, 2010

I am a 56 yr old woman who was having problems with a very dry mouth that interrupted my sleep when I used my CPAP machine. I had "invented" a chin strap from an old ace bandage before investing in a real chin strap. This invention helped but would not stay in place all night long. The SP Medical Adjustable CPAP Chin Strap looked like the best offer for the price. The design led me to believe that it would stay in place and do the job all night long and it did. I would recommend that anyone who opens his or her mouth during CPAP use and has problems with dry mouth, should try this product. 95% of my dry mouth problem is solved when I wear it and it helps with my compliance with using my CPAP, so my dr. is happy. Sweet Dreams!
