Short CPAP tube or adapter

Post by ryans081 » Wed Jul 10, 2024 4:45 pm

Hello,

I am looking for the shortest cpap tube around. Ideally, a rubber adapter to connect the Air Mini Adapter to the Muffler would be awesome. I have had zero luck finding any of these

Basically, I purchase a Resmed mini and will be attaching a muffler with it. As this is for travel, I would like this to be as minimal as possible.

Current setup right now is Air Mini -> Adapter -> 8" Hose -> Muffler -> 6 Feet tube -> HME -> F&P Solo Mask.

I would like to eliminate the 8" hose if possible. Is there a adapter for the Mini that would be the opening (I really do not know what it is called or the terminology).

Thanks!

Circadiance, maker of Sleepweaver cloth masks, makes a short hose.
It is called something like featherweight, and is about 14" long--universal ends.
You may also need an adapter for the wacko air intake on the airmini.

I don't know if this is what you want or if it will work for you or not but you can look.

BTW where are you putting the HME disk thing? It needs to be right at the mouth level or close to absorb the moisture and give it back.
I have tried the F & P Solo mask and it has a short hose that really isn't all that short and if you put the HME disk between your long hose and the mask's short hose it's not going to work optimally in terms of collecting moisture and then giving some of it back to you.
