Benefits Of A CPAP Chin Strap

/in /by

Statistics have shown that over 80% of people are open mouth snorers. A range of CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) supplies and masks have proven to be beneficial in treating symptoms of people who are mouth snorers, or struggle with sleep apnea and other sleep disorders and related conditions. 

A range of high grade medical textiles such as hypoallergenic fabric, latex-free fabric and antibacterial fabric are used by the experts at Biomed to provide reliable, comfortable and irritation free results for all customers. Below are a few of the top questions answered to help you understand more about CPAP supplies, the role of a CPAP chin strap and the importance of high-grade medical textiles such as hypoallergenic fabric.  

What is a CPAP Chin Strap? 

CPAP supplies such as CPAP headgear are designed to assist with holding a sleep apnea face mask in place during the night to assist in treating sleep apnea or other sleep related conditions by limiting symptoms and providing added comfort. 

A CPAP chin strap is a cloth strap that wraps around both sides the head, along the forehead and cradles the jaw  to provide support during the night. A CPAP chin strap is often used to ensure that a person’s chin does not fall open during their sleep to limit symptoms such as dry mouth, jaw pain or leaking due to a CPAP mask.

Different types of CPAP Chin Straps

A range of high grade medical fabrics are used at Biomed for CPAP supplies such as hypoallergenic fabric, latex-free fabric and antibacterial. Utilising hypoallergenic fabric and a range of medical textiles ensure that the person is comfortable all night long when using the sleep mask, headgear or a CPAP chin strap, limiting the chance of skin irritation and reactions and is the most suitable fabric voice for those who suffer with allergies. 

The hypoallergenic fabric which is used in the manufacturing of a CPAP chin strap is lightweight, durable, and stretchy in order to provide comfort for the person wearing it. Our range of CPAP chin straps are designed and manufactured with latex free medical grade fabric which are used in our other CPAP supplies such as headgear. 

CPAP chin straps may be available in a range of other medical textiles such as neoprene or cotton, although at Biomed we utilise breathable, stretchy, and hypoallergenic fabric from Resmed as this material type is best suited for most people and skin types whilst providing the highest level of comfort. 

Why Wear a CPAP Chin Strap?

There are some signs which demonstrate when a CPAP chin strap may be a beneficial addition to your CPAP supplies such as when you wake up with a dry throat or mouth, you have a high leak rate or if your jaw continuously falls open during the night.

It is important to utilise a CPAP chin strap that is comfortable and will be able to be used all night without any problems in order to get the best results from the CPAP chin strap, or CPAP therapy. The pressure that is applied by the CPAP chin strap should be enough to keep the jaw shut comfortably during the night, without adding extra pressure or providing any discomfort. 

A CPAP chin strap is best used for people who experience mouth snoring, although is not best suited to people who are nose snorers, or any nasal issues such as a deviated septum as this may cause lack of oxygen being able to filter through.

Health Benefits Of Wearing Face Masks

/in /by

Face masks have become a part of everyday life for most people over the past two and a half years with the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

A face mask acts as a physical barrier which aims to reduce transmission by limiting the spread of droplets. Masks have been proven to be extremely effective in limiting infection rates as it prevents the transmission of droplets and limits transmission of germs through contact between hands and mouths.

There are various types of face masks that have several health benefits. Here at Biomed, we offer a range of face masks ranging from reusable face masks through to medical grade face masks in a variety of materials and sizes to suit people with different needs. Our range of face masks include:

  • Bioshield-05 
  • 3-layer face mask
  • 5-layer face mask
  • 7-layer face mask
  • Antibacterial face masks
  • Kids masks

 

We have a range of reusable face masks, with various properties such as being breathable, dust proof, antibacterial, provide deodorisation abilities, protection, and a filtering effect. At Biomed, our range of face masks come in a variety of sizes to suit men, women and kids. 

Our face masks are made out of various fabrics and materials that suit people of various needs such as copper, lycra, eco-friendly nylon and more which utilise hypoallergenic materials which ensures the masks deliver on its health benefits and suits people with allergies. 

Below are some of the main health benefits of wearing face masks: 

 

  • Limit transmission of viruses and illnesses

 

Wearing face masks reduces the likelihood of infection of viruses and illnesses such as COVID-19 as the face mask acts as a barrier to prevent droplets from being transferred to other people. 

In many instances, people may not be aware that they are contagious with a virus or illness such as COVID-19 until days after they have been infected. If someone who has been infected with a virus, such as COVID-19, wears a mask when in public spaces or around other people they have a significantly reduced risk of spreading the virus to other people. 

 

  • Protect yourself against viruses and illnesses

 

Utilising face masks is a great way to protect yourself from contracting a virus or illness. Wearing a mask with multiple layers, such as a 3, 5 or 7 layer mask, will assist in limiting the chance of droplets coming into contact with the person. 

Face masks are most effective when both the individual and others are wearing a face mask to both protect yourself and limit transmission, although throughout the pandemic it has been proved that with at least one person wearing a face mask, rates of transmission and infection reduce drastically. 

 

  • Utilise a face mask as a hygienic barrier

 

Wearing a face mask is a great option for reducing the likelihood of spreading or contracting viruses, not only during the pandemic, as they are an effective and hygienic barrier which provides several health benefits. 

Wearing a face mask in a high risk setting such as a hospital or aged care centre is beneficial for the health of all people to prevent transmission and infection rates. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, many health professionals utilised face masks and reusable face masks in Australia to prevent catching viruses from their patients and prevent passing anything on to their patients, which is especially beneficial for people who are immunocompromised or who have underlying health conditions. 

Face masks have become common for people to wear when they suffer from allergies to limit their exposure to external environmental aspects such as dust or pollen. If you have been searching for reusable face masks Australia, at Biomed we have a range of face masks which incorporate a range of benefits to suit your needs. Our friendly team of medical fabrics and materials experts can assist you with any questions you may have about the medical textiles and fabrics we use!

How To Choose The Right Sporting Support Braces For Recovery

/in /by

The best way to protect a sports injury is through a high-quality sporting support brace. Sporting braces can reduce pain and improve healing by providing mechanical support to the injury. To get the most out of a sporting support brace, it must fit you correctly and comfortable.

Here at Biomed, we provide a range of sporting braces and supports including sporting ankle braces, sporting knee braces, wrist braces and elbow braces. We use nano technology by infusing medical fabrics with minerals, which include copper and silver. The silver nanoparticles in the fabric help kill bacteria, making clothing odour-resistant, and the nanopores also provide superior insulation. Our range of self-cooling fabrics have been proven to lower body temperatures between 1-2 degrees, which promotes an increase in overall body performance.

Through this article, we will guide you through ways in how to choose the right sporting support braces for recovery in regard to sporting ankle braces, sporting knee braces and back support braces.

Sporting Ankle Brace

  • Comfort

When selecting a sporting ankle brace you want to ensure you are selecting the correct size and material. You want to consider how breathable you would like the brace to be. All sporting ankle braces are generally sized based on your shoe size or ankle circumference so be sure to consult the sizing chart in order to get the best fit and support. In regards to material, ankle braces are made of either neoprene or fabric. Neoprene is a flexible material that provides for a close fit to the body and offers both support and heat insulation to protect against ongoing pain. On the other hand, neoprene does not breathe well and may be too hot for all day use.

  • Type of ankle brace

Sporting ankle braces come in many varieties including sleeves and braces with straps and lace up. Ankle sleeves provide support and relief from pain, swelling and inflammation. Ankle supports with straps provide advanced protection and increased compression. Lace up ankle braces provide maximum support and allow you to customise the tightness of the laces from top to bottom.

  • Tightness

When choosing a sporting ankle brace you want you ankle to feel locked in, although the brace should not restrict blood flow in any way or cause any pain due to tightness. Lower levels of protection will feel more flexible, whereas maximum protection ankle braces will feel more rigid.

Sporting Knee Brace

  • Level of protection

When choosing a sporting knee brace, be on the lookout for levels of protection ranging from 1 to 3+. Level 1 braces offer the least amount of protection and is the most flexible. This level is best used for pain relief and mild to moderate support when fully active. Level 2 braces are not as flexible but still offer a wide range of movement. Level 3 braces offer the most support but limited movement. This type of brace is also heavier and is best for when recovering from surgery. Level 3+ provides maximum protection and is best for aiding pain relief for moderate to major conditions.

  • Type of knee brace

There are numerous types of sporting knee braces available on the market including knee sleeves, wraparound or dual-wrap braces, hinged knee braces, knee straps, and closed and open patella braces.

  • Tightness

When using a sporting knee brace, you want to have compression and the feeling of tightness in your knee. It should feel comfortable as well as an added level of support based on your individual needs. If you feel as if the knee brace is uncomfortably tight, try to loosen the straps or opt for a larger brace.

Back Support Brace

  • Level of support

Back support braces can be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible. Rigid back support braces provide stability for those who have conditions causing moderate to serve pain. Flexible back support braces are made of a softer material to limit excessive movement and provide compression to offer more freedom and flexibility. Semi-rigid back support braces combine the two and feature a flexible brace for the body with added rigid panels around the device.

  • Size and fit

A majority of off-the-shelf back support braces come in a universal size with an adjustable belt or hook and eye locks to ensure a snug fit around the body. Although, there are custom back support braces that can be molded to an individual’s body.

  • Durability and maintenance

Some back support braces are machine-washable and are easier to maintain. Braces that do have velcro may wear faster and stretchy types of back support braces may stretch out after regular use.

3 Benefits Of Sporting Support Braces

/in /by

Biomed technology manufactures several sporting support braces such as knee braces, ankle braces, back support braces and elbow braces. Biomed utilises charcoal fabrics and nanotechnology by infusing medical fabrics with minerals such as copper and silver which have a number of benefits including being odour resistant and utilising high insulation levels due to the nanopores in the fabric.

Our copper fabrics have many benefits such as:

  • Lower rates of lactic acid build-up
  • Prevention of premature fatigue
  • Improved regeneration
  • Lower pulse rates during high-intensity activity
  • Far-infrared radiation properties (FIR) that promote blood circulation and increase oxygen levels in the blood

At Biomed, we understand everybody’s sporting support brace preferences, the reasons behind using one and ideal outcomes may vary. We have a team of experienced professionals that can help you make the right choice and ensure the transition into using the brace is easy for you.

If you are wanting to know about the benefits of sporting support braces, here are a few:

1. Increased stability due to the level of protection

At Biomed, our sporting support braces are made as a form of compression, which means that while you are using the braces, it increases stability in the joints and improves the overall level of protection. Increased stability is beneficial when moving the affected area as it improves control, as well as helps to improve injury healing time and prevent damage.

Our sporting ankle brace utilises individual adjustable straps to ensure the brace is comfortable and fits well. The brace supports the ankle by protecting and improving stability, by controlling motion and movement. The sporting ankle brace is ideal for use during sporting activities, as it prevents lateral twisting of the foot.

The back support braces are manufactured with a contoured corset which is made to control the pressure on the spine, which in turn limits movement and increases stability. The sporting knee brace provides stability by protecting the joint and stabilising the position of the kneecap to promote healing and prevent injury.

2. Improvement in overall pain levels

Back support braces improve pain levels as the brace supports the lumbar spine and relieves pressure on the intervertebral discs. The brace aims to control motion and movement in the back, which limits pain due to the compression of the brace against the lumbar spine.

The sporting ankle brace may be an appropriate option for ankle pain, to provide support after surgery or after injuries arise such as a sprain or a repeated overloading injury, as ligaments of the foot are often weakened after injury and therefore require extra support. Support braces control movement and provide compression which may help with swelling and the healing process of an injured ankle.

The sporting knee brace can assist with pain related to the kneecap such as misalignment of the knee or anterior knee pain. The compression in the brace can help with swelling in the knee and helps control mobility, while the adjustable straps stabilise the joints and activate the musculature, which may help to speed up the healing process of injuries.

Our Biosport elbow brace may help with pain and symptoms related to tennis elbow (epicondylitis lateral) and inflammation. The pads at the elbow joint of the brace acts as cushioning and relieves pressure on joints and tendon attachments.

3. Breathable and comfortable braces

Biomed support braces are antibacterial and hypo-allergenic making the braces suitable for people who have skin sensitives. The support braces are made from a natural fibre that provides warmth, has deodorising abilities and superior absorption making the support braces ideal for stability and protection during exercise and sport.

The sporting support braces are adjustable with either one or two straps, which helps the brace to mould and fit every individual to their requirements, ensuring the braces are comfortable and effective. The support braces are made to be easily taken on and off and to be comfortable to be worn for substantial periods of time.

At Biomed, we use self-cooling fabrics, which have been tested and proved to lower body temperature by 1-2 degrees, which is ideal for exercise and sport as this increases overall body performance.

Things You Should Consider When Choosing A Face Mask

/in /by

Face masks have become a necessity for many people since the beginning of COVID-19, and they have been shown to protect people from both transmitting and contracting the virus. As face masks have become the new normal worldwide as the nature of the virus is evolving, there have been many advancements to the materials and technologies used when manufacturing face masks, with reusable face masks in Australia becoming increasingly popular. 

At Biomed, we manufacture and produce high-quality respiratory face and medical masks which utilise antibacterial and hypoallergenic materials, to suit everybody’s needs. We manufacture and produce various types of face masks that use different materials and fabrics, different layering options and fits, such as: 

  • The Bioshield 
  • 5-layer face mask 
  • 7-layer face mask
  • Antibacterial face mask 
  • 3-layer face mask 
  • Kids face masks 

If you are looking for a face mask that suits you, consider these tips:

How often will you use the face mask?

If you use your face masks regularly, a reusable face mask may be a beneficial option for you to consider. Reusable face masks utilise embedded silver fibres to destroy bacteria and microbial growth, to ensure they are 99 per cent anti-bacterial. Reusable face masks are a durable, efficient and cost-effective option if you are planning on wearing a face mask consistently. Reusable face masks in Australia are growing in popularity due to their versatility, ease and being both environmentally friendly and sustainable. 

Reusable face masks are simple to wash as they require to be submerged in boiling water for a minimum of 3 minutes and left to air dry. If you are looking for a face mask that will serve its purpose and is aesthetically pleasing, many reusable face masks have customisable patterns and colours to make them stand out from the crowd!

Disposable face masks are another option that utilises several different layer options and utilises different materials. Disposable masks can be washed a certain number of times depending on the make of the mask and can then be disposed of. Disposable face masks have a 0.075 filtering effect, are dustproof, and have PM2.5 protection. Layered face masks can be cleaned between uses by using a 75 per cent alcohol spray on the surfaces of the mask. 

How much protection do you need from your face mask?

A medical mask such as the antibacterial face mask and the BioShield face mask are options that would suit someone who may be immunocompromised and may need extra protection, or for someone who has regular contact with the public or who works in healthcare. 

Medical masks utilise medical-grade fabrics which are effective in stopping bacteria, pollen and dust, and are an effective option for reducing the spread and transmission of viruses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical masks use fabrics such as copper, wicking, lycra, eco-friendly nylon, and brushed lycra or velvet to achieve the results of stopping bacteria, pollen and dust inhalation. The variety of fabrics and materials used makes medical and health masks customisable, and available with various densities, sizes and colours. 

What are your desired needs when choosing your face mask? 

Certain face masks are better suited to people who wear glasses that need masks that are less likely to cause glasses to fog up, or with greater rates of breathability and utilise deodorisation. A medical mask with a metal strip at the top can be moulded to fit your nose and create your desired fit. 

Medical and health masks may be beneficial for people who have medical concerns, skin sensitivities or personal concerns. The materials used in these masks fight the spread of germs, whilst preventing allergic reactions. Our Biomed medical fabrics and materials experts can help you find the right face mask, medical mask or health mask for you, with the possibility to customise the fabric to suit individual requirements. 

Ensure the size and fit of the face mask are correct

The size and fit of a face mask are important in order for the mask to protect you effectively, as well as ensure that the mask is comfortable to wear for a substantial period. Face masks come in both children and adult sizes for females and males, with multiple different sizes ranging from XS to L in various types of masks. Our experts at Biomed can help you to determine which mask size would be the best fit for you.

It’s Time to Switch to Medical-Grade Masks – Here’s Why

/in /by

Face masks have kept us safe through the last two years, but with Covid’s Omicron variant spreading rapidly worldwide, you may need a face mask upgrade.

Wearing a mask creates a physical barrier that intercepts and stops droplets from spreading further into the air surrounding them as they usually would. A medical mask also works to protect any germs from your body spreading to other individuals and reduces hand-to-face contact.

According to health experts, the evidence is clear that masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and with more people wearing masks, the better. For example, a study in a Boston hospital showed that a mask-wearing policy dramatically reduced the transmission of Covid-19. The proportion of symptomatic healthcare workers who tested positive for the virus “steadily declined”.

Face masks that incorporate medical textiles through antibacterial and hypoallergenic fabric promote numerous health benefits. These properties further assist in killing microorganisms and germs that could bring on harmful illnesses and diseases. At Biomed, we manufacture and produce medical-grade masks with such antibacterial properties that provide outstanding comfort and eliminate the spread of germs, irritations and allergens.

 

What is the best face mask I can wear?

The best choice for a face covering is a medical mask, particularly one that utilises market-leading fabric facilities.

Buyers should keep in mind that some fabric face masks on the market are only decorative or aesthetic. In contrast to other face coverings such as a one-layer homemade mask or a bandanna, medical masks are more effective at blocking germs from spreading into your body through your nose and mouth whilst also blocking any germs from transmitting to other people.

While any mask is preferable to none, masks with exhalation valves should be avoided at all costs. Since the valves make the mask less effective in preventing the transmission of infectious particles to other people. Exhalation valve masks protect the user okay, but they do not prevent the wearer from spreading germs to others.

Here at Biomed, we are a leading manufacturer of medical-grade healthcare fabric products in Australia. We proudly hold one of the best medical grade textile ranges for reusable masks. With over 25 years of extensive experience and access to state-of-the-art technology, we like to ensure that our fabrics are of superior quality, antibacterial, breathable, latex-free, allergen-free, durable, and stretchy to provide maximum comfort and reliability for all uses.

Our textile manufacturing facility produces highly tested and engineered medical masks for all ages. We offer five different medical masks that are both reusable and that each provides for different usages;

  • Bioshield-05
  • 5-layer face mask
  • 7-layer face mask
  • Antibacterial face mask
  • 3-layer face mask

 

Why is Medical Grade Fabric Manufacturing Important?

All face masks aren’t all made equal, with different products offering varying levels of protection. So, how do you choose a face mask and what factors influence its effectiveness?

According to a recent study, the fabric manufacturing quality of a mask impacts how well the face-covering filters out pollutants. For example, a triple-layer medical mask with a heavyweight cotton layer and a lighter cotton or silk layer proved to be the most effective design in the study.

Healthcare fabrics sometimes referred to as healthcare textiles or biomedical textiles, are a form of technical fabric that prioritises functionality over aesthetics. A medical mask is a disposable, rectangular-shaped, loose-fitting mask. Elastic bands or ties can be wrapped behind your ears or tied behind your head to keep the surgical mask in place. A metal strip on the top of the medical mask may be squeezed to fit the mask over your nose.

Even minor variations in healthcare fabrics can have a significant impact on health. As a result, to ensure successful treatments of patients, all medical facilities require the use of high-quality face masks manufactured with healthcare fabrics.

So, when purchasing a medical mask, pay attention to the fabric since filtering capacity varies widely depending on the type of cloth used, ranging from 5% to 80%. Large-particle pathogens are less likely to spread via drips, sprays, splatters, and splashes when a three-ply medical mask is worn correctly.

 

How do I clean my reusable medical mask?

Your reusable medical masks should be washed every day, especially if you currently have a cold, flu symptoms, or hay fever. Ensure that you check how many times your face masks can be washed. Each reusable mask can only be cleaned a certain amount of times before being disposed of and moved to a new reusable mask.

Depending on the type of reusable face mask you own, each has different cleaning requirements. If you have purchased a mask from another manufacturer, it is recommended to research and find out what cleaning methods they recommend. The cleaning methods for Biomed’s reusable face masks range are outlined below.

 

  • 3-layer, 5-layer and 7-layer reusable masks

Ensure that you do not intensely rub the mask when cleaning your 3-layer, 5-layer, and 7-layer reusable masks, as this can cause the n-PTFE to fracture. Instead, spray the front and back of the mask with 75% alcohol and leave the alcohol on for an interval of 15 minutes. Wash the mask by hand, or if you choose to wash it in the washing machine, place the masks in a laundry net for protection and use an antimicrobial washing detergent. Be sure to dry the mask in a shaded area, avoiding contact with sunlight.

 

  • Bioshield-05 and antibacterial masks

To clean your Bioshield-05 and antibacterial reusable masks, you must boil enough water to cover the entire face mask. Immerse the whole mask into the boiling water and leave it to sit for 3 minutes. The water will be very hot during this process, so be careful that you do not come into contact with the water as you may burn yourself. Remove the mask from the water once it has cooled down. Once it has been cleaned, leave the mask to air dry.

 

Stay Safe with BioMed

Our medical-grade materials are only one example of Biomed’s high-quality work. At Biomed, our mission as a professional fabric manufacturing company is to create high-quality medical masks healthcare fabrics and produce superior fabric manufacturing, which is why we ensure that our business operations always align with our ISO 9001 certification for quality management.

As respectable CPAP mask manufacturers, our dedication to strict Australian medical fabric manufacturing standards demonstrates our products’ reliability and commitment to providing our customers superior products that offer a high level of comfort by minimising skin irritations, alongside antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties for safety and comfort.

By preventing germs and bacteria, the life of medical textiles  – such as CPAP masks, CPAP Chin Straps, Back Support Braces and many more CPAP Accessories – can be prolonged. The build-up of bacteria and germs can cause fabrics not of a medical-grade to deteriorate over time and become unsanitary and uncomfortable to wear.

6 Common CPAP Mask Problems and How to Reduce the Discomforts

/in /by

CPAP therapy which utilises a CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) machine, is an excellent therapeutic option for people with sleep apnea who want to lessen the disorder’s most severe symptoms. But like all other treatments, there are adverse side effects, so how do you reduce these discomforts?

A CPAP machine works by delivering consistent and stable air pressure through a hose linked to a mask or nosepiece while you sleep. A leaky mask, difficulty settling asleep, a stuffy nose, and a dry mouth are all common CPAP issues.

According to current CPAP mask manufacturer studies, the CPAP compliance rate, which refers to the percentage of CPAP patients who use the mask for more than a few months, is only around 60%!

One reason for this low number is that many users find it difficult to sleep with a CPAP mask on their faces all night. However, there are simple solutions that might enhance you or your patients’ compliance rates!

As a leading CPAP manufacturing company, here are the top six most common CPAP problems we see most with patients and the most successful treatments to ensure the best nightly treatment results.

  1. Poorly Fitting CPAP Mask

Ensure you have a correctly fitting CPAP mask by working closely with your health care practitioner and CPAP mask manufacturer. Because everyone’s face is different, one person’s ideal mask style and size may not work for you.

It’s important to note that CPAP masks come in various styles and sizes, so do not be discouraged from trying a new style or medical textile if your current mask is uncomfortable. Full face masks, for example, cover your lips and nose and have straps that wrap across your forehead and cheeks. These may cause claustrophobia in some people, but they work well if you like to sleep breathing through your lips and provide a secure fit if you move around a lot while sleeping.

If you wear glasses or read while wearing a mask, nasal pillows that fit beneath your nose and straps may be a good option because they don’t impede your vision as much as full-face masks. But if you move around a lot in your sleep or sleep on your side, this mask type may not be for you.

To achieve the optimum fit, ask your doctor or CPAP manufacturing company to show you how to adjust your mask. Product instructions from the CPAP mask manufacturer might potentially show you how to achieve this, as a properly fitted mask should not be painful or unpleasant!

  1. Having Difficulty Getting Comfortable to Using a CPAP Mask

As a reputable CPAP mask manufacturer, we often suggest to clients that to begin, try sleeping with just the CPAP mask on for small amounts of time while awake, such as while watching TV. Then, when you’re awake, try wearing the mask and hose with the machine switched on during the day.

Start using the CPAP machine every time you sleep, even during naps, after you’ve become used to how it feels. Using the CPAP machine only once in a while may cause you to take longer to become used to it. Instead, stick with it for at least a few weeks to see if your mask and pressure are the correct fit for you.

  1. I Can’t Tolerate the Forced Air from the CPAP Mask

You might be able to get around this by utilising a machine that has a “ramp” function. This option allows you to begin with a low air pressure level. Then, as you fall asleep, the machine gradually and automatically raises the air pressure to the specified level, and your doctor can adjust the rate.

If this function doesn’t help, talk to your doctor or CPAP manufacturing company about switching to a machine that changes the pressure automatically and continuously while you sleep. A bi-level positive airway pressure (BPAP) machine, for example, gives greater pressure when you inhale and less pressure when you exhale (exhale).

  1. My Mask Causes My Nose to Get Stuffy or Dry

When exposed to the air flowing from the CPAP mask, some persons on CPAP therapy may develop nasal and sinus difficulties, such as a dry or congested nose. With most CPAP devices, a heated humidifier device is now integrated or available as an optional extra, which boosts the moisture levels in the air, helping to minimise, if not eliminate, dryness in your airways.

  1. Do You Get a Claustrophobic Feeling?

It’s probable that the first time you try the mask, especially when sleeping, you’ll feel strange or uneasy. Some new users of CPAP therapy may find this sensation disturbing, so try these tips.

While you’re awake, practise using your mask. Simply hold the mask to your face without the rest of the components, and try wearing the mask with the straps once you’ve become used to it.

Then, without using the straps, try wearing the mask with the connected hose on your face. Then, start the CPAP machine, maybe with the ramp option enabled. After that, do the same thing with the straps. Last but not least, sleep with the mask and machine on.

In addition, progressive muscular relaxation can also lessen your anxiety associated with CPAP use. For example, if you’re still feeling claustrophobic, try a different size mask or a new type, such as one with nose cushions, to see if it helps.

  1. Pressure Sores, A Leaking Mask, Or Skin Discomfort

A leaky or ill-fitting mask won’t give you the full amount of air pressure you need, and it might irritate your skin. Instead, air can be forced into your eyes through the mask, causing them to feel dry or teary.

To acquire a better fit, try adjusting the padding and straps. If the mask fits over your nose, ensure it doesn’t rest too high on the bridge, as it might cause air to enter your eyes.

If your weight has changed significantly, you may need to seek your CPAP manufacturing company to find a different size mask. Alternatively, try another type of mask, such as one with nose cushions. Tell your doctor right away if you experience skin degeneration or sores, such as on your nose.

The Key to Success is Sourcing from a Quality CPAP Mask Manufacturer!

Getting acclimated to a CPAP machine might be frustrating at first, but you must persist with it. Treatment is necessary to avoid obstructive sleep apnea issues such as heart problems and excessive daytime tiredness.

Our medical-grade materials are only one example of Biomed’s high-quality work. At Biomed, our mission as a professional CPAP manufacturing company is to create high-quality healthcare fabrics and produce superior medical fabrics, which is why we ensure that our business operations always align with our ISO 9001 certification for quality management.

As respectable CPAP mask manufacturers, our dedication to strict Australian medical fabric manufacturing standards demonstrates our products’ reliability and commitment to providing our customers superior products that offer a high level of comfort by minimising skin irritations, alongside antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties for safety and comfort.

By preventing germs and bacteria, the life of medical textiles  – such as CPAP masks, CPAP Chin Straps, Back Support Braces and many more CPAP Accessories – can be prolonged. The build-up of bacteria and germs can cause fabrics not of a medical-grade, to deteriorate over time and become unsanitary and uncomfortable to wear.

Do Back Support Braces Reduce Back Pain?

/in /by

Back pain isn’t just annoying; it’s also one of the most significant life-altering ailments. Many studies have shown that chronic back pain has the most significant damaging impact on mental health from any muscle ache in the body.

Unfortunately, back discomfort is all too prevalent, affecting an estimated 80% of the population, and it’s the third most prevalent cause for going to the doctor, whether it’s a little ache from bending the wrong way or a long-term condition. So, is a back brace going to be of assistance for you? Let’s find out…

What Causes Back Pain?

Back spasms and cramps might feel like a wave of agony and discomfort, with the sense that the muscle is flexing and contracting or seizing up uncontrollably. When considering if a back support brace suits you, the first step is to determine why you’re in discomfort to receive the best type of treatment. Here are the six most common causes of back pain:

  1. Injury

Back injuries can cause continuous spasms and cramping, even days or weeks after the initial injury, whether it’s a bulging disc, a nasty bruise, or a muscle rupture.

  1. Overuse or Strain

Muscles engage and work hard to execute their function while you work out. When you don’t give your muscles enough rest might get strained and produce microtears, which exacerbate and inflame the region. Those who push themselves too hard may get back pain a day or two later, referred to as DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness), a symptom of improper stretching and resting.

  1. Activity Defeat

Excessive muscular tension and movement can create problems, but the contrary is also true! When not exercising regularly, your muscles weaken, and the tension placed on your spine and base muscles (particularly the lower back) creates additional strain and leaves you prone to long-term problems.

  1. Impaired Posture

How you sit and stand has a significant impact on your back muscles, whether you’re sitting at a desk, driving a car, or bending and lifting. When you slouch or tilt your back, the tension is concentrated in one area, causing irritated and spasming back problems.

  1. Disc Problems

The discs in your spine reside between each vertebra, enabling mobility while also preserving the most vital component of your spine, the spinal column. For example, the surrounding muscle might spasm when these discs become inflamed due to an injury or strain.

  1. Stress

While bodily problems are the most common cause of physical discomfort, emotional stress should not be overlooked. For example, when you’re worried or nervous, your body creates extra adrenalin and other substances, which tighten your muscles. Chronic back troubles and specific bodily pain might result from long-term stress or worry.

Do I Need to Wear a Back Support Brace If I Have Back Pain?

Rest, massage, and physiotherapy are frequently effective treatments for musculoskeletal discomfort. Wearing a back support brace while recuperating can help speed up the process and relieve discomfort.

Wearing a back support brace is highly advised when back discomfort is caused by a spinal condition such as a bulging or slipped disc, arthritis, or osteoporosis.

Back support braces offer several advantages, the first and maybe most essential of which is preventive. First, when the back is injured, overworked, or damaged, it is more likely to develop further problems such as chronic pain, nerve problems, limited mobility, or even partial paralysis. You may allow your body to recuperate safely by wearing a back support brace to protect the afflicted region.

Supports like the BioMed Sport Support Braces are great for spasms and cramps since they stabilise the region while massaging the muscles and are comfortable. In addition, they can reduce discomfort while stabilising and strengthening the spine.

How to Choose the Correct Back Support Brace

While wearing a back support brace might help with back discomfort and difficulties, choosing the appropriate one can be difficult, especially with many options. Here are some things to be on the look out for:

Anatomical fit: decent back support braces should easily fit across your body, offering even support and stability across your back. Look for a brace that moves with you, whether you’re sitting, standing, or moving about.

Targeted relief: there is no such thing as one-size-fits-all back support braces. Depending on what’s causing your back discomfort, you’ll need a different brace, so look for a solution tailored to your individual problem and provides immediate relief.

Breathable material: back braces tend to encompass a large amount of your body and should be made of breathable material. It’s pointless to wear a brace all day if it’s hot, humid, and inconvenient. Choose a back brace with high-quality medical-grade fabric that breathes properly, fits easily beneath your clothes, and doesn’t press on any area of your body too hard.

Quality construction: while it may be tempting to buy cheap back support braces from the pharmacy, they only give temporary comfort and, in certain situations, might cause more damage than good. Look for back braces from reliable companies that have undergone clinical testing and good design.

Should You Wear a Back Brace All Day?

No, it’s vital to keep in mind that back braces aren’t intended to be worn all the time and for no more than 2 hours each day. Excessive usage of back support braces might cause muscular atrophy and core weakness.

Is There a Difference Between Sports Braces Sold at a Local Pharmacy Vs. a Specialist Provider?

/in /by

Many pharmacies provide dependable and effective sports brace solutions from sporting ankle braces, sporting knee braces to back support braces. However, their selection may be restricted, and you may be unable to get the specialised type of braces your unique health conditions require.

On the other hand, specialised retailers, such as BioMed, provide a wide selection of alternatives, allowing you to tailor what you need to receive the best solution for your injury or condition.

While most generic brands at your local pharmacy are less expensive and, in some instances, perform the same or comparable tasks. If you just need a sporting ankle brace for a short time (such as a minor injury), a generic and less expensive alternative may be preferable.

However, if you want support for a more chronic illness, such as arthritis, you may want to spend a bit more money on your brace from a specialist provider.

Even though more specialised providers tend to be more expensive, they provide much more detailed knowledge and experience to back their prices. So, you can be confident that you’ll be getting a cost-effective sports brace that is durable, supportive, and tailored to your particular needs.

Finally, while the protection and support of sports braces are necessary following an injury, you must ensure correct usage for efficient treatment. Perhaps an inexperienced pharmacist provides you with the wrong advice; as a result, you may induce more weakness with the incorrect habits.

For example, if a sports brace is worn for an extended period, the brace may cause weak muscles. The brace prevents these muscles from actively working, causing the movements to deteriorate over time, which is the last thing you want.

Therefore, as a leading sporting medical fabric manufacturer of back support braces, sporting ankle braces and sporting knee braces, let us inform you in which situations each sporting brace will benefit you.

What are the Benefits of a Sporting Knee Brace?

There’s no denying that sporting knee braces may help prevent knee injuries during high-contact activities by stabilising the knee joint, relieving knee discomfort, or reducing pain and inflammation for arthritis patients.

Sporting knee braces can also be used for rehabilitation, such as after ACL damage. The brace will help the patient gradually recover their range of motion by providing modest, restricted mobility.

When wearing a sporting knee brace, you should feel compression and tension in your knee. It should feel comfortable and offer a degree of support required based on your specific demands.

However, if the sporting knee brace is too tight and you’re losing circulation, it’s time to relax the straps or get a larger size. Rigid braces give more significant support and have a stiffer feel, whereas compression sleeves allow for more movement but less support.

Based on the circumference (the distance around) of your knee below the centre of the knee, use a size chart to select which sporting knee brace to purchase.

What are the Benefits of a Sporting Ankle Brace?

Ankle injuries are relatively common, can happen quickly and in a variety of ways. Fortunately, a sporting ankle brace can support your ankle during rehabilitation by providing the following advantages and functions:

  • Compression, stability, and warming to support the ankle joint.
  • Keep the ankle from rolling to one side or the other during the exercise.
  • Keep additional harm or damage at bay.
  • Enhance performance.
  • Raise your awareness of the damaged or previously injured joints.

Consider a more rigid sporting ankle brace fit for more severe ankle injuries. A more robust sporting ankle brace will provide you with more significant support and stability. A sporting ankle brace should be snug, but it should not be too tight. You want it to be tight enough to offer some compression yet loose enough to be breathable.

What are the Benefits of Back Support Braces?

A lower back support brace can be a practical part of a comprehensive treatment for some spinal disorders and support the spine as it recovers after back surgery.

When the low back is unstable owing to damaged or compromised spinal components, back support braces, also known as a lumbosacral orthosis, or LSO, can be prescribed to help in the following three ways.

Back support braces can establish a good healing environment for the existing injury and avoid further injuries by keeping the torso in a safe, supportive posture.

Back support braces can also assist in relieving part of the weight typically imposed on the lower back, decreasing strain on the spine’s joints, discs, and muscles. A back brace may alleviate uncomfortable muscular tension by lowering spinal pressure, which is a typical defensive response to an injury.

Finally, back support braces are also used to prevent or restrict uncomfortable motions such as twisting the spine or bending forwards, backwards, or to the side. Limiting uncomfortable movements and postures can also enhance awareness of one’s own body’s location (proprioception), allowing the user to alter posture for better back health actively.

10 Places You Should Wear a Face Mask in Australia

/in /by

If community transmission increases in your state or territory, face mask recommendations will alter. So, it’s critical to keep up with the latest medical sanctions in your region, provided by your state or territory government. Although even when community transmissions are low, you should still consider wearing a face mask in the following locations.

In What Situations Should I Wear a Face Mask?

Face masks help limit the spread of germs, as when someone speaks, coughs, or sneezes, small droplets might be released into the air, infecting others. When someone is unwell, wearing a face mask helps minimise the quantity of germs they discharge and protect others from becoming ill. A face mask also shields the wearer’s nose and mouth from bodily fluid spills or sprays.

In general, if you are in an area with one of the following characteristics, you should wear a face mask to protect yourself and others.

  • Face masks should be worn in crowded situations where you can’t stay at least 1 metre away from other people.
  • Face masks should be worn in spaces without ventilation and in rooms with poor or unknown ventilation. Although it is not always easy to determine the rate of air recirculation or availability of fresh outdoor air, so if you are not sure, it is safest to put on your face mask.
  • If you cannot keep physical distancing from others in outdoor public settings, you must wear a fitting face mask.
  • When in an indoor section of non-residential property, you must wear a fitting face mask.

Above all, people who feel sick should always wear a face mask when around others, as the face mask will help protect others from catching that illness. For more specific information, the following ten places are the most common examples of locations where these characteristics are prevalent, requiring all inhabitants to wear a face mask.

1. Public Transport

Both staff and customers must wear a face mask when using and waiting for public transportation. This includes buses, light rails, railway stations, ferry docks, rental vehicles, taxis, and rideshare services.

2. Supermarkets and Shopping Malls

Both staff and customers who visit retail and business premises that sell goods or services to members of the public are required to wear face masks at all times. This includes shopping centres, post offices, bank branches, spas, tattoo parlours, massage parlours, betting agencies, hairdressers, nail, beauty, tanning, and waxing salons.

3. In All Common Indoor Areas of Residential Premises

Anyone who walks through strata complexes, community buildings, and apartment common areas must wear a face mask at all times.

4. Workplaces

All individuals who work in indoor workplaces must wear a face mask; this includes construction sites. Specifically includes workers of hospitality venues and other places where staff deals directly with members of the public.

5. Residential Aged Care Facilities

Face masks are unnecessary for residents at an elderly care home, but face masks are essential for all visitors and employees.

6. Schools

All staff and students from Year 7 and above are advised to wear face masks while on school premises.

7. Controlled COVID-19 Safe Outdoor Gatherings

8. Indoor & Outdoor Recreation Facilities

All staff and participants of gym classes, dance classes and other exercise classes must wear a face mask at all times unless it is strenuous excise that does not require a face mask. All staff and customers at major recreation facilities such as stadiums, showgrounds, theme parks, racecourses and motor racing tracks are required to wear a face mask at all times. All staff and members at religious services held at public worship sites must wear a face mask at all times.

9. Entertainment Facilities

All staff and customers at entertainment facilities such as theatres, cinemas, music and concert halls are required to wear a face mask at all times.

10. Airports and Commercial Domestic Flights

Airports and all commercial and domestic flights around Australia are subject to face mask regulations. When at an airport, including the passenger waiting area, and when a domestic or commercial flight is landing or taking off from an NSW airport or flying in NSW air, you must wear a face mask.

When flight crew members and airport personnel are not engaging directly with passengers or aboard an aircraft with no passengers on board, they may remove their face masks.

All airport workers must also wear a face mask when dealing with the public, including engineers, technical staff, cleaners, luggage handlers, individuals delivering or removing food and other goods connected with an aircraft, airline employees, law enforcement, and border security personnel.

What is the Best Type of Face Mask to Wear?

In general, the best option for a face covering is a medical mask. Medical masks – produced by marketing leading fabric manufacturing facilities – provide a physical barrier to block germs coming into your body through your mouth and nose while also preventing any germs from spreading from your body to others.

While any face mask is better than no mask, masks with exhalation valves, in particular, should be avoided if possible because they are far less effective in limiting the spread of potentially infected particles. While face masks with exhalation valves protect the wearer well, they do not stop the wearer from transmitting germs to other people.

At Biomed, we proudly hold one of Australia’s best medical grade healthcare fabrics for reusable face masks. Our fabric manufacturing facilities produce complex and sensitive fabric combinations which have anti-bacterial properties. Biomed’s medical mask designs provide maximum comfort and versatility, perfect for any age to wear happily.

  • Bioshield-05
  • 5-layer face mask
  • 7-layer face mask
  • Anti-bacterial face mask
  • 3-layer face mask
