Company History
SA Medical is a family-owned Medical Device Company whose founders all suffer from Sleep Apnoea and have a combined 25 years of practical experience managing Sleep Apnoea using CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) Therapy and Mandibular Advancement (MAD) Devices.
SA Medical is offering new and innovative products for people suffering from Sleep Apnoea in Ireland. The product range includes Diagnostic Equipment, CPAP therapy, and consumables including alternative therapies to CPAP, all at competitive prices.
Researching the Irish Sleep Apnoea Market over the past 8 years, SA Medical has identified several issues.
- Long waiting times for Public Health Patients for diagnosis.
- The requirement to have Private Health Insurance to shorten the waiting time for a diagnosis at a sleep clinic.
- The high cost of CPAP therapy and associated consumables.
- Compliance with CPAP therapy. SA Medical can empathise with fellow suffers of Sleep Apnoea and will deliver a personalised follow-up support service.
The introduction of our new Home Sleep Study to the Irish Market will assist in eliminating waiting times with or without private health insurance and at a fraction of the cost charged by sleep clinics. This service already operates in other countries with outstanding success.
