The mouthpiece is insertable in a mouth of a patient and is attachable to the breathing tube which contains at least one bi-directional valve (32). The inflatable body functions to adjust an internal cross-sectional area of the breathing tube and further serves to regulate air pressure within the patient's mouth. The mask is in fluid communication with the inflatable body and covers the nose of the patient so that exhaled air is routed thereto. A system for prophylactic treatment of a breathing disorder which includes a self-contained CPAP device is also disclosed.</p> |
