Somnetics International Inc., a Minneapolis-based maker of the Transcend Sleep Apnea Therapy System and accessories, has secured the exclusive rights to sell and distribute Gabriel Scientific’s SleepAngel pillow to the medical market in the United States.
The SleepAngel pillow features a PneumaPure filter that blocks germs, viruses, mold and allergens from contaminating the pillow’s interior, thereby protecting patients in hospitals, long-term care facilities and sleep labs, as well as home users.
“Somnetics is committed to providing products that contribute to improving the lives of patients who suffer from respiratory and sleep disorders,” said Clarence Johnson, Somnetics president and chief executive officer. “The SleepAngel pillow complements the growing line of devices that Somnetics offers to help people breathe and sleep better and reduces the impact of allergens and germs in getting a good night sleep.”
The SleepAngel pillow and other bedding items with the PneumaPure filter are manufactured by Dublin-based Gabriel Scientific, a research and development company dedicated to the design and manufacture sleep products for the medical, hotel and consumer sectors.
