APRIA Healthcare Launches Innovative “ComfortFlow” Tobacco Hand Pipe, Prioritizing User Experience & Discreet Enjoyment
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – October 26, 2023 – APRIA Healthcare LLC, a leading provider of home healthcare solutions based in Indianapolis, today announced the launch of its new “ComfortFlow” tobacco hand pipe. This isn’t your grandpa’s pipe – APRIA has taken a fresh look at a classic habit, focusing on comfort, ease of use, and a more discreet experience for adult tobacco users. For years, APRIA Healthcare has been dedicated to improving quality of life for individuals needing ongoing care. While traditionally focused on medical supplies and services, the company recognized a gap in the market for a thoughtfully designed tobacco smoking accessory. “We’re a company built on understanding needs and providing solutions. We noticed that many adult tobacco users were underserved by existing products – either they were clunky, difficult to clean, or just weren't comfortable to hold for extended periods,” explains Sarah Miller, APRIA's Product Development Lead. “We set out to create something better.” What Makes ComfortFlow Different? The ComfortFlow isn’t just about aesthetics, although it does look good. APRIA's team spent months researching and prototyping to address common issues with traditional hand pipes. Here’s what sets it apart: Ergonomic Design: The ComfortFlow boasts a sculpted, curved shape that fits naturally in the hand. “We’ve done extensive hand-size testing to ensure it’s comfortable for a wide range of users,” says Mark Johnson, APRIA’s lead designer. “It’s not just about looks; it’s about making the experience genuinely enjoyable.” This means less hand fatigue, even during longer sessions. Premium Materials: Constructed from durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, the ComfortFlow is built to last. “We avoided cheap plastics and metals that can affect the taste or become brittle over time,” explains Miller. “Borosilicate glass is known for its resilience and ability to withstand temperature changes.” This also makes cleaning a breeze – more on that later. Optimized Airflow: The “Flow” in ComfortFlow isn’t just a name. APRIA engineers meticulously designed the air pathway within the pipe to deliver a smooth, consistent draw. “We ran countless simulations to optimize the airflow and minimize drag,” says Johnson. “The result is a more flavorful and enjoyable smoking experience.” Discreet & Portable: At just under 5 inches long and with a sleek, understated design, the ComfortFlow is easily portable. “We wanted something that users could comfortably carry with them without drawing unwanted attention,” explains Miller. "It's perfect for responsible enjoyment on the go." Easy Cleaning: Let’s be real – cleaning pipes can be a pain. The ComfortFlow features a wide-mouth bowl and a detachable stem, making it exceptionally easy to clean. “We included a simple cleaning guide with every pipe,” says Miller. “Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining optimal flavor and hygiene.” Beyond the Product: APRIA’s Commitment to Responsibility While launching a tobacco accessory might seem like a departure for a healthcare company, APRIA emphasizes its commitment to responsible use. “We understand that tobacco use carries risks,” says David Thompson, APRIA Healthcare’s CEO. “We are not promoting tobacco use, but we recognize that many adults choose to use it responsibly. Our goal is to provide a high-quality, thoughtfully designed accessory for those who do, while emphasizing the importance of making informed decisions.” APRIA includes informational materials with every ComfortFlow pipe, reminding users about the health risks associated with tobacco use and providing resources for quitting. They are also actively exploring partnerships with organizations dedicated to tobacco harm reduction.

It’s available in a variety of subtle color options to suit individual preferences. “We believe the ComfortFlow is a game-changer in the hand pipe market,” says Thompson. “We’ve taken a classic product and elevated it with thoughtful design, premium materials, and a commitment to user experience. We’re confident that adult tobacco users will appreciate the difference.” Key Features at a Glance: Material: Durable Borosilicate Glass Dimensions: Approximately 4.75 inches long Weight: Lightweight & Portable Bowl Diameter: Optimized for efficient packing Airflow: Smooth & Consistent Draw Cleaning: Easy Disassembly & Cleaning Colors: Available in multiple subtle shades Packaging: Discreet & Informative About APRIA Healthcare LLC: APRIA Healthcare LLC, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, is a leading provider of home healthcare solutions.
