William Shatner has been appointed as an ambassador and spokesperson for SoClean, the creator of the world's first automated continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) cleaner and sanitiser.

The Star Trek star will appear in upcoming campaigns for the device, supporting the brand's 'mission to improve the lives of people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)', and commented 'After I was diagnosed with sleep apnea ten years ago, my CPAP machine changed my life, but I never really understood how important it was to clean it every day to prevent germs and bacteria. That's why I love my SoClean - it makes it simple to keep the CPAP sanitised'.
