We Know It Looks Strange; Why Transcend is Worn on the Head

By now you’ve probably seen photos of Transcend. And, the first thing you may notice is that the device is worn on the head. The engineers behind Transcend’s design know this will initially look strange to some folks. But by putting Transcend on the head solves problems we heard from actual CPAP users…problems like hose tug, nasal seal leaks, being tethered by the hose, and the inability to easily pack a CPAP and take it with you when traveling.

In today’s blog post, I want to break down the unique aspects of Transcend specific to why and how it is worn on the head.

First, to even consider putting a CPAP—with a motor and blower—on the head, required making it vibration-free, lightweight and small. Transcend uses air bearing blower technology instead of ball bearings. This is why Transcend doesn’t vibrate like your existing CPAP. Without vibration, there’s also no heat buildup.

Transcend weighs about the same as a one-pound bag of coffee beans; it’s about the same size too. It is the lightest and smallest CPAP on the market because it is worn on the head. The engineers also added a cushy memory foam pad to the bottom of Transcend so it is comfortable on your head. Once you lie back, any weight you feel sitting up with Transcend on, is transferred to your pillow.

Second, because Transcend is worn on the head it has a short hose from device to nasal seal. That means you’ll never again be tethered to the bedside CPAP. In fact, when you use Transcend with a battery pack you can actually get up during the night without taking the device or nasal seal off.

Third, the short hose prevents hose tug and nasal seal leaks. Oh…and you won’t have those lovely hose imprints on your cheeks in the morning, because Transcend and the interface (the hose and nasal seal) move together and with you as you sleep.

If you’re still unsure about Transcend, you can try it for 30 days thanks to the help from CPAP Supply USA, CPAP Xchange and Direct Home Medical. These three dealers have agreed to sell the Transcend CPAP with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied, you can return Transcend to the dealer…within 30 days and with proof of purchase, of course.

Pretty cool. What are you waiting for? Try Transcend.
