Lateral Sniff Position Pillow

Up until now, all the models available for home and medical use have been pillows designed for the supine position, or where the user is lying flat on their back.

Now, for lateral position surgery or procedures as well as for those who prefer to sleep on their side, the Lateral Sniff Position Pillow will soon be available. Most people with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, both part of sleep-disordered breathing prefer to sleep on their side, and so this pillow was created with this in mind. It still incorporates the sniff position and maintains this position even when one is deeply asleep, maintaining the maximal airway opening that each individual's airway can have. All sleep disordered breathing is multifactorial and as such no single device can possibly cure all those with this very common problem. However this pillow is different than all other side position pillows.

Very importantly, this side position pillow is extremely comfortable and is a great choice for all sleepers as we all could benefit from breathing more easily. 

For use by the hospital Rapid Response Team together with end-tidal CO2 monitoring, all patients with unexpected clinical deterioration should be placed on a PopitzPillow to improve their airway, increase oxygenation and ventilation. It also places the patient in the proper position for further airway management if necessary. 

Along the same vein, any patient with post-operative respiratory depression, and patients with known or suspected Obstructive Sleep Apnea or Drug induced Respiratory Depression. These patients should all be placed upon a PopitzPillow.
