Anti-snoring Device Launched in India

Snorben, an anti-snoring nasal device developed by Benson Medical Services, Canberra, Australia, was recently launched in India. The device would be available in stores of Manipal Cure and Care (MCC), India's first health and wellness centre.

Snorben is a clinically- tested device that is manufactured from medical grade materials. It comes in three different sizes, giving customers a choice to opt for what suits them best. Currently, it is available in North America and Australia and approved by Therapeutic Goods Administration, Australia

Snoring is one of the most widely prevalent disorders affecting over 40 per cent of men and 20 per cent of women. Apart from lifestyle issues, snoring also has serious health implications as it is generally regarded the first symptom of the Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) syndrome. OSA means that the airway has collapsed or is blocked during sleep. The blockage may cause shallow breathing or breathing pauses and can lead to fatal implications like a heart attack.

Snorben is designed to help anyone of any age, who suffers from nasal disorders such as: allar collapsed (collapsed nostrils), deviated septum (bent nose), damaged nostrils and narrow nostrils. Snorben ensures that nasal passages remain open, allowing one to breathe freely through the nose and not through the mouth.

Richard Benson, Director, Benson Medical Services, Australia, said, " Snorben has been a success internationally wherein we have been distributing it through ENT surgeons in Australia." Somnath Das, COO, MCC, said, "MCC is committed to providing overall healthcare solutions and improving the quality of life lead by people. Snorben is another step in this direction and following it will be a large number of other medically proven and accepted products."
