MyoTape

Overview

MyoTape produces adhesive strips designed to promote nasal breathing by encouraging lip closure during sleep, without fully covering the mouth. The product targets issues such as snoring, sleep apnea, and mouth breathing, drawing from Buteyko breathing methods. It positions itself in the sleep tech market as a non-invasive tool for adults and children, developed by breathing expert Patrick McKeown.¹²⁵
