Competitive Landscape
Competition primarily comes from established medical device companies (e.g., ResMed, Philips) improving CPAP comfort, and a handful of other biotechs exploring drug treatments for sleep apnea (e.g., Apnimed). Mosanna's differentiation lies in its specific nasal delivery and focus on restoring natural airway reflexes.
