• For many patients with COPD, breathing
cold air causes bronchospasms and
increases breathlessness.
• In winter, there is a general increase in
the number of chest infections, often
associated with respiratory viruses –
COPD patients are particularly at risk.
• For patients with COPD, exposure to cold
air can set off an exacerbation.
• Exacerbations are the number one
reason that COPD patients are seen in
the family doctor’s office, emergency
room, and hospital ward.
• Decrease in ambient temperature is
associated with increase in cardiac
morbidity and mortality, stroke, and all
cause mortality rates.
• Cold-induced morbidity and mortality
appears due to increased blood pressure,
particularly in people with pre-existing
hypertension or heart disease.

“Last winter, I couldn’t even go to the mailbox, but this
winter, using the CT Mask, I have been able to enjoy the
long walk down the drive to get the mail. The mask is
very soft and comfortable, and the air I breathe is
noticeably warmer. This mask works wonders!”

Protects from the Risks of Breathing Cold Air!
How it Works
The prevalence of COPD
continues to increase,
especially in women, and
it is expected to become
the third leading cause of
death by the year 2020
(GOLD Initiative).
The Asthma Society
of Canada advises
that people with
asthma “wear a
mask or scarf around
your mouth and nose
to help warm the air
you breathe in
through your nose.”
Inside each mask is a very efficient, thermal
exchange module which affects a heat exchange
cycle by regulating air flow through its chambers
and directing the air over a low turbulence thermal
medium. Heat and moisture from each exhaled
breath is captured within the module and
transferred into the next inhaled breath of fresh
air, setting up a cycle of breathing warm, moist air.
The HME has a dead air space of 37ml. The thermal
medium is made of 100% copper which has been tested
and determined to provide significant antimicrobial
properties which inhibit the growth of bacteria and other
pathogens which may be harmful to the respiratory tract.

“I have COPD, and I have had trouble breathing cold air for
the past five years. The cold air hurts my chest and makes
me begin to panic. When I wear the CT Mask, I can go
outside – even in the extreme temperatures in Edmonton!”
