Trade Bait

Post by lordvader » Wed Mar 24, 2010 2:08 pm

I have a Mirage Swift LT Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear that I'm looking to use as trade bait for a Mirage Activa LT (medium size).

This LT has not been slept with only tried on when I got home with the medium pillow. Small and Large Pillows are unused. They did not have a demo for me to try on when I got it, but I had to try something small. Well its not for me. I have washed the unit already and it tucked away in its bag.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

What do you think of your zest mask? Mine leaks like a sieve.

I have the Zest Plus... similar but different silicone seal, different face foam and slightly larger overall... never leaks. I love the technology and quality of most F & P Masks.
I have owned and tried Swift LT pillows and several in the Respironics Comfort line of Nasal's.

One of the main reasons I chose the Zest Plus was the seal.

I have the Zest Plus as well. I tried the regular Zest and found that it touched the outside of my nostrils and I really didn't like that, so I switched over to the Zest plus, was way more comfortable, but leaks really badly around the eyes. I went so far as to put a wire inside the gray padding to mold it to my nose bridge, but now even that after a week doesn't work very well. Have to go back to the drawing board, I guess!
