What is PROVENT Therapy?

Provent Nasal Device

PROVENT™ Professional Sleep Apnea Therapy is a simple, non-invasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The PROVENT Nasal Device uses a novel MicroValve design that attaches over the nostrils and is secured in place with hypoallergenic adhesive. The MicroValve opens and closes, redirecting air through small holes to create resistance upon breathing out. Because it's a small, single use, disposable device, it's also discreet and very convenient.


Why PROVENT Therapy?

Take back the night. Bring on the day.

When you get a good night of sleep, do you feel more engaged and less grumpy around coworkers, loved ones and friends?

What's it worth to your sleep partner to reduce or eliminate the gasping and snoring associated with OSA?

OSA therapy should provide treatment that is effective, yet comfortable and convenient, so that it will be used every night. PROVENT Therapy was designed with the patient in mind. PROVENT Therapy combines proven clinical effectiveness with a comfortable and convenient design. In a clinical study of 28 subjects using PROVENT Therapy at home for 30 days, PROVENT Therapy was used all night on 94% of nights.1,2

PROVENT Therapy is:

  • Clinically proven to be effective
  • Easy to use every night
  • Discreet
  • Powered by the patient's own breathing (no electricity required)
  • Simple and convenient so it fits an active lifestyle
  • Portable
  • Single use and disposable

How PROVENT Therapy Works

PROVENT Therapy uses proprietary MicroValve technology. The device attaches over the nostrils. During inhalation the MicroValve opens, allowing the user to breathe in freely. Then, during exhalation, the MicroValve closes and air passing through the nose is directed through two small air channels. This increases air pressure in the airway which helps to keep it open.

Only you and your physician can decide whether PROVENT Therapy is right for you. PROVENT Therapy may not work for everyone, so it's important to have your doctor evaluate your medical needs.
