Circadiance Announces the SleepWeaver “Wilderness Dream Series”.
Two ALL NEW colors represent the company’s deliberate decision to offer users more exciting choices in nasal CPAP masks, and wake up a sleepy industry with custom designs.

The SleepWeaver is becoming the FIRST choice of a growing number of sleep doctors, technicians and DME’s who want to minimize their patients’ fittings, and maximize their patients’ compliance. The mask’s ease–of–use and revolutionary soft cloth seal make it simple and superior.

That’s why we’re developing a full line of colors — starting with camouflage and leopard — that help people match a mask to their lifestyle.” For more information please visit www.SleepWeaver.com.
