Masks and CPAP

CPAP or Continuous positive airway pressure machines are incomplete without the mask. One wears a face or nasal mask attached to the machine during sleep. The mask is connected to a pump and provides a positive flow of air into the nasal passages in order to keep the airway open.

CPAP masks and headgear come in many styles and sizes to comfortably treat your sleep apnea. Different people have different needs, preferences and face sizes, and sometimes you might need to try different mask styles before you find the perfect one that works the best for you. Different sizes are available across different mask styles and brands. You might need to try on several styles and sizes to find the best combination of comfort and efficiency.

Appropriate sizing is very important for the comfort and performance of the masks. There are three CPAP mask’s styles and all have different kinds of benefits.
