Fitting a Full Face Mask can be a real challenge. Of all of the masks, Full Face masks are the most prone to problems, as there are many more places where they can leak or cause discomfort. The following fitting guide will help you get a better fitting full face mask, and get the most out of it. If everyone could use a nasal mask, it would certainly life much easier. But we are all different, and this is why full face masks exist. Read the full face CPAP mask reviews.

 

Fitting Guide Step-By-Step Instructions

1. When choosing the mask you want to try, look carefully at the following:
– Is the cushion big enough from the top to the bottom? Most full face masks fit from the top of your nasal bridge, to below your lip, but above your chin. Make sure the inside cushion measurement is long enough and will fit your face.
– How wide do you need the mask cushion? Remember it’s the inside measurement between each side of the cushion that’s important, not the outside. If you have a broad nose, a wider cushion at the top of the cushion may be suitable, if you have a wide mouth, a wide opening at the bottom of the cushion.
– Do you have a flat, or prominent nasal bridge? A mask which allows significant adjustment of the mask angle may help here
Prominent brow? – This can affect the adjustment of the mask across the nose, a full face mask without forehead support may be more suitable.
– Does your jaw tend to drop when you are asleep? Open-face (i.e. no forehead support) masks tend to work better here, as they allow for more adjustment at the bottom of the mask. Often you won’t find this out until you start using CPAP. Ask your bed partner to keep an eye on you when you take the mask home to try.
2. Standing or sitting, adjust the headgear so that the mask feels like it is just sitting in place (very loose).
3. If a bed is available, lay down on your back. If not, similar (but somewhat less effective) manouvers can be performed whilst sitting up.
Expert Tip: Use your fingers to test how tight the mask is. You should be able to fit two stacked fingers between your cheek and your mask strap.

The Powerful Impact of Crafting on Child’s Emotional Development

  Emotional Benefits of Crafting Children’s minds and bodies develop swiftly as they grow and explore their surroundings. Arts & crafts are wonderful instruments that can help with this development.  Kids craft kits  allow them to get a hands-on experience where they can tangibly express themselves and immerse themselves in a haven of vibrant colours, varied textures, and boundless creativity!

ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview

Please Note – The ResMed AirMini machine has since been released with some reviews already. Click here to view them. ResMed AirMini Travel CPAP Machine Preview ResMed; arguably the market leader in CPAP machines, has announced their entry into the travel CPAP machine market with the AirMINI. There are a number of rumours circulating about the design of the machine. Now, it must be said that I cannot speak to the authenticity of the picture shown. But it looks strikingly similar to the descriptions of the machine from those who attended the launch. A few CPAP suppliers from the Sydney area were present, and some leaks (not mask leaks, excuse the pun) about the size, shape and features of the machine have slipped out of some not-so-tightly sealed lips. It is a little secret that ResMed have been looking at entering into the lucrative travel-CPAP market for some time. In fact, when I visited ResMed HQ five years ago, part of their development team was busy pulling ...
