For Those Who Use Tap Pap

Post by Chilibit » Wed Dec 28, 2016 4:36 pm

I have used Tap Pap for approximately three years. It is a keeper for sure---for me.

Rarely, but occasionally, I find the need to adjust the fit of the mouthpiece. I follow the instructions and they work. But merely putting some water in a coffee cup, then microwaving it about a minute and you are nearly done. If, like me, you tended to procrastinate a bit, try this for a quick tuneup.

What kind of data does it provide, our solution has to provide nightly data because we can't afford the $ 2,000 a night sleep studies, to insure we aren't dying from papercuts. Jim

It provides whatever the machine it is attached to provides. It's a nasal pillows mask with a mouthpiece for stabilization, not an independent device.

That's hopeful, that the have a full data machine, the listing doesn't list any but I didn't check I saw TAP and thought JUNK, my brain shut down. Jim

Yes, Jim. We have seen it happen.
But when it does, you're so darn CUTE.

Oh yeah, that's right. One of the dental devices touted for treating OSA was a TAP device.
