There is growing demand for clinically proven sleep apnea treatments and the introduction of Provent represents a scientifically validated, innovative and user-friendly approach. Provent works across mild, moderate, and severe OSA and utilizes nasal expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) to keep a patient's airway open during sleep.

"According to the Public Health Agency of Canada over 1 in 4 Canadian adults are at high risk of having OSA.  OSA is suspected in patients who are loud snorers, excessively sleepy, obese and hypertensive," said Dr. John Fleetham, Professor of Medicine at the University of British Columbia. "OSA is increasingly being recognised in Canadian patients.  CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) is the primary treatment for OSA, however not all patients can tolerate it as a long term treatment." Dr. Fleetham further comments, "I welcome new validated treatment alternatives for OSA such as Provent Sleep Apnea Therapy."

"We believe clinically-proven Provent Therapy offers a unique and convenient alternative to CPAP treatment for the large number of people in Canada currently affected by OSA," said Philip Westbrook, M.D., chief medical officer of Ventus Medical. "Prove
