Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy devices are often available through rental agreements. This provides individuals with sleep apnea access to necessary treatment without the immediate financial burden of purchasing the equipment outright. Such agreements can be short-term, for travel or temporary needs, or longer-term, offering flexibility before committing to a purchase. An example might be a traveler renting a device for a two-week trip.
The availability of rental options makes CPAP therapy more accessible to a wider range of individuals. This can be particularly beneficial for those experiencing financial constraints, trialing therapy before commitment, or requiring a device for a limited time. Historically, access to such devices was often limited by cost, which could delay or prevent necessary treatment. The option of renting has significantly broadened access to this crucial therapy, improving sleep quality and overall health for many.
