Going on holiday with your CPAP? We’ve got you covered with our travel must-haves to make your CPAP therapy more comfortable.

Now that you’ve got your checklist, here’s our list of recommended items to give you sky-high comfort while travelling – whether by plane, train, or car.

Resmed CPAP Wipes for Travel^*

Take extra care to keep your mask and CPAP accessories clean when you’re travelling. Keep in mind warm climates are the best environments for bacteria to grow in.

Depending on your travel schedule and access to water, you can keep your mask clean by wiping it with a wet cloth or wet wipes.

We recommend you stock up on a pack of travel-sized cleaning wipes before you leave. This allows you to maintain mask and machine hygiene while giving yourself more time to spend enjoying your holiday.

Our 14-pack of CPAP wipes are a ready-to-use, fast and easy cleaning solution for your mask. These 100% cotton wipes contain an unscented cleaning agent and aloe vera and are free from alcohol and latex.

2. Spare Resmed CPAP Mask Headgear

For extended trips, it could be useful to bring a spare CPAP mask headgear. If you get your headgear a bit sweaty simply swap out your dirty headgear for your clean spare.  

3.

Resmed CPAP Tubing

(bring back-up!)

You may prefer to wash your CPAP equipment daily while travelling. It this is not the case , it could be worth investing in back-up tubing to allow more time between drying after a wash.

Resmed CPAP Filters

The last thing you want to do while on holiday is breathe unhealthy air. Protect yourself with a few extra CPAP filters, in case you need them.

Our CPAP filters are designed to filter the air and give you the peace of mind that you need to help you have a good night’s rest.
