Boussignac CPAP: No Moving Parts!

Ah, CPAP. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure saves lives and improves outcomes — be it asthmatics in acute exacerbations, or apnea sufferers finally getting quality sleep, or a host of other lung conditions in the spectrum between healthy deep breaths and mechanical ventilation.
The problem with CPAP is the machines and masks are bulky and loud, giving patients a Darth Vader vibe, and prohibiting inclusion on EMS trucks and ambulances.
All this may change with the new Boussignac CPAP, pioneered by French inventor Georges Boussignac (who sadly did not have the foresight to pick up boussignac.com from this man).
The Boussignac CPAP has no moving parts, no power supply. It uses a “virtual valve” to create a pressure gradient out of accelerated O2 molecules. The more O2 that flows in, the higher the gradient, keeping alveoli from collapsing and improving medication delivery.
The Boussignac CPAP is popping up in trials across the US; if it’s validated, we expect it will find its way into ambulances, ERs, and homes. CPAP will be cheaper, easier, and a lot less intimidating for patients.
