Philips Respironics has introduced the Wisp Pediatric Nasal Mask, which supports non-invasive ventilation (NIV) and is the most recent addition to the company’s Wisp family of masks.
Designed specifically for children, the mask features a child-friendly giraffe fabric pattern, a modified cushion curvature, along with support tools to help provide a positive experience for young patients and their families. With the introduction of the mask, the Wisp family now serves infant to adult patients for continuity and consistency in therapy.Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) therapy is used to treat breathing difficulties, often caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), or neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy.
The Wisp Pediatric Nasal Mask will be available in the U.S. and Europe in the second half of 2016, with launches in additional markets expected to follow.
