AUCKLAND, New Zealand—Fisher and Paykel (F&P) Healthcare, a respiratory care products designer and manufacturer, announced the U.S. launch of its “F&P Nova Micro” nasal pillows mask, which is intended for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.
“The Nova Micro is another strong addition to our mask portfolio, and we are thrilled we can offer it to patients in the U.S.,” said Steve Wilson, VP of sales and marketing, North America, at F&P Healthcare.
The company said the Nova Micro mask is its smallest and lightest mask to date. The mask intends to offer patients a natural sleep experience without compromising on comfort or performance. The mask weighs less than 1.4 ounces and features minimal headgear and the company’s “MicroPillows” cushion, which nestles within the nostrils and inflates to conform to the patient’s nose. These features intend to provide stability and freedom of movement.
“With the introduction of Nova Micro, alongside our recently launched F&P Solo ‘AutoFit’ mask and F&P Evora Full, we can now address a diverse array of patient needs and preferences,” Wilson said. “The F&P Solo AutoFit mask stands out in its category with its auto-adjusting headgear, while the Nova Micro fits universally with conventional headgear. With these additions, we can cover all segments of customer requirements, offering a comprehensive range of mask options in the United States.”
The Nova Micro headgear is one size, aiming to offer easy fitting and dual-sided adjustments on each side of the face. The MicroPillows cushion is available in three sizes: small, medium and large.
