Philips Respironics, a unit of Royal Philips, has announced the launch of new gel pillows mask for the sleep apnea patients.

The company has launched Nuance, a light and airy nasal gel pillows mask. Nuance gel pillows represents the new choice for better sleep therapy for clinicians, home care providers and patients. The unique design seals around the nose for improved comfort and seal.

According to the company, clinicians and providers have the ability to provide a high performance minimal contact mask for greater patient satisfaction.
