CPAP & BIPAP Machine
A CPAP machine delivers a single pressure, while a BIPAP machine delivers an inhale and an exhale pressure. Both machines require a hose and mask or nosepiece to provide constant and steady air pressure, making them excellent medical equipment in hospitals to help patients with sleep-related issues.
