Abstract: A hose tender is provided for use with a CPAP system. The CPAP system includes a breathing mask connected to a CPAP air generator via a hose. The hose tender supports the hose above a user in a convenient and safe manner. The hose tender includes a support arm including a first end and second end. The first end of the support arm is provided with an arcuate coupling portion and the second end is provided with a hose engaging portion. The hose engaging portion includes a cantilevered section secured to the second end of the support arm such that a longitudinal axis of the cantilevered section is oriented substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the support arm; wherein the cantilevered section includes an abutment member and a return portion with an horizontal line member connected therebetween. The hose tender also includes a clamp for selectively securing the support arm to a support surface.
