Inogen Enters Sleep Apnea Market with Aurora CPAP Masks, Expanding Its Home Respiratory Care Vision
Inogen Inc. is a well-known medical technology firm that has established itself as the leader in the portable oxygen therapeutics segment. They have officially ventured into the sleep apnea segment through their new AuroraTM continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) mask brand. The strategic step is one of the major milestones of the company since it expands its scope of interest beyond oxygen delivery. This becomes a multi-pronged provider of respiratory care solutions in the home. The shift towards Inogen entering this market with a rapidly expanding market echoes the growing needs of the patients and the long-term growth opportunities of the company.

The Aurora CPAP mask line has been created with a high level of comfort, ease of use, and long-term durability. The other significant design consideration has been easing of use. The Aurora masks have easy assembly and disassembly. This means that cleaning and maintenance are easier for patients who administer therapy at home. Most CPAP devices are compatible with the device, allowing providers flexibility and minimizing the adoption barriers. Aurora masks have also received FDA 510(k) clearance by Inogen, and this supports the idea of the company complying with regulations and the safety of the patient.
The Aurora CPAP masks are introduced when the sleep therapy market is experiencing a fast-paced change. Social trends, increasing prevalence of diagnosis, greater understanding of untreated sleep disorders, and the desirability of care at home, are creating demand for more friendly solutions. On the other hand, digital connectivity is transforming the modes of delivery and management of sleep therapy. Furthermore, the regulatory approval of Aurora as an investment by Inogen is an indication of this industry trend as a whole and reflects its desire to provide the highest standards of quality and safety to compete.
