Fisher & Paykel Healthcare launches F&P Nova Micro™ - its smallest and lightest mask yet - in the United States
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has announced the launch of F&P Nova Micro™ nasal pillows mask for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in the USA.
Weighing less than 1.4 ounces (40 grams), the new compact mask features minimal, easy-adjusting headgear and a soft MicroPillows™ cushion that nestles gently within the nostrils and inflates to conform to the patient’s nose. This provides stability and freedom of movement, allowing patients to sleep in their preferred positions.
“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 Sales & Marketing North America for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
Nova Micro is F&P’s smallest and lightest mask1 yet. It was designed around the principle ‘Less is Best’ – for patients looking for a mask that will provide them with a natural sleep experience without compromising on comfort or performance.
“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. 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,” said Wilson.
Additionally, the Nova Micro headgear is one size, making fitting easy with the dual-sided adjustments enabling users to fine-tune on each side of the face. The MicroPillows cushion is available in three sizes (small, medium and large).
The mask is supported by positive internal validation trial results:
