Edward Baxter, a graduate Architectural Engineer out of UT Austin, and retired from commercial contracting, was shown to be awoken 27 times per hour in his 2001 sleep study for obstructive sleep apnea.

On his first trip away from his high headboard at home, over which he draped his apnea CPAP system hose - he had a sleepless stay in his motel room, his CPAP hose dragging upon him and his mask, all that night.

And so, the concept of both a home & a travel support,
to suspend one’s CPAP Hose overhead in bed - was born.

Several prototypes, a provisional patent, a local manufacturer, a license with a large manufacturer of CPAP hose, a distributorship for that licensee, then a utility patent ~ trademark ~ national phase patents - to now, going it on his own with a Chinese manufacturer – he, through his: Arden Innovations has manufactured and wholesale distributes his CPAP Hose Lift to retailers and original equipment manufacturers throughout the USA, and other countries about the globe.

Ed’s other passions to inventing are: his children, dancing, grass court tennis (his, the only turf court in central Texas), gardening, sailing, travel, and poetry.
