What is EPAP?Updated 2 months ago

EPAP stands for Expiratory Positive Air Pressure.

It is a breathing mechanism that creates gentle back pressure when you exhale. This back pressure helps support the airway during sleep.

How EPAP Works

When using an EPAP device:

• You inhale normally.
• During exhalation, airflow is partially restricted.
• This creates mild positive pressure in the airway.

Unlike CPAP, EPAP does not require a machine, tubing, or electricity. It uses your own breath to create the pressure.

In SnoreBuds, the level of EPAP is adjustable using the Snore Strength dial, allowing you to personalize both comfort and effectiveness.
