Snoring and Sleep Apnea Solutions

CPAP Masks

Each type of mask has several versions to accommodate a wide range of different users with different needs. The design of the mask that is right for the patient depends on the severity of the Obstructive Sleep Apnea, the patient's preference of sleep positions and facial sensitivity.

	The Nasal CPAP mask covers only the nose, leaving the mouth free. The pressurized air is only directed through the nasal airway. It comes with a variety of different gel options in the mask and headgear for comfort and headgear shape options to maximize effectiveness and ensure that it will not fall off over the course of the night.
	The Full Face CPAP mask covers both the nose and mouth, directing the pressurized air through both airways. It comes with a variety of gel and headgear options for comfort. Many CPAP users lose the seal around the mask when air pressure is high. The loss of pressure can greatly reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. This mask, since it covers the mouth and nose, prevents pressure loss due to movement of the face during the night, is more comfortable and will ensure positive results.
	The Nasal Pillow CPAP mask is only the nasal pillow, no oral mask. The nasal pillow goes straight into the nasal airways through two tubes. The tubes and nasal inserts come in a variety of sizes to fit the specific patient. The mouth is left free and the nose it not completely covered. It comes with different kinds of headgear to cater to each wearer's preferred sleeping position and facial comfort. The Nasal Pillow mask is lightweight and very minimal, so therefore preferable for users who like to read or watch television before sleep.
	The Nasal Prong CPAP mask is shaped like a traditional oxygen mask. This eliminates the need for so many straps and uncomfortable headgear. The pressurized air only goes into the nasal airway, leaving the mouth free. It can be worn for long periods of time comfortably, the user can sleep in any position and the device is nearly leak free.
	The Oral CPAP mask covers only the mouth and has one strap that goes around the back of the head. It goes inside the mouth, behind the lips and in front of the teeth. This maintains pressure throughout the night and allows the user to sleep in more positions. There is no dental fitting required for the Oral mask. The seal is created by the silicone components on the inside and outside of the cheek. Unlike many other masks, you can wear glasses with the mask on.
	The Hybrid CPAP mask is similar to the Full Face mask, but has separate nasal pillows. This sends pressurized air through both the oral and nasal airways. The mask does not use a nose bridge support or forehead support, so reduces sores from rubbing and embarrassing lines in the morning. The Nasal Pillows are adjustable, so makes the mask more customizable.
	The Total Face CPAP mask covers the entire face. This takes the pressure off of the cheeks and bridge of the nose. The pressurized air goes into the entire mask, making breathing more natural and comfortable. The clear plastic faceplate allows the user to see without obstruction, thus reducing claustrophobia in some patients.
