Choosing a mask

Post by Moby » Wed Apr 18, 2007 4:37 pm

I'm in the lucky position of being able to trial different masks until my trial period is up on May 8. I have already found the Swift works ok for me, so now I am playing with the other available masks.

The tec has set me on a CPAP of 12.

I used the online measuring tool and among others it suggests a couple of full face masks. The tec said I could buy one if I wanted but she wouldn't recommend them. I tried on the Flecxifit HC432 (though the online sizer suggested the 431) and found it very comfortable.

Is there any reason I shouldn't go for it?

More questions later.

Thanks everyone.

Di

If it works and it's comfy... keep it!

I myself like the Respironics OptiLife!

I think everyone should have one full face mask for nights when you can't get any air through your nose. Mine is the hybrid. But if you like the HC432 by all means get it.

... masks
