Nasal Masks

Posted by Robert on August 04, 2001 at 13:27:34:

I have three sizes of what I would classify as a standard latex free nasal mask....no name on the masks.
I have a small, med. and large. All three do not seem to work in terms of leaks. The large is clearly the most comfortable which is surprising since I have a sort of long slender face with some tmj...chin is not quite center...little off to the right.
I cannot get the leaks to stop....and it completely frustrates the attempts to wear the devise.....I have the headgear on correctly and just can't seem to stop the leaks even when I have the damn thing on tight as hell....tight, loose they just pop up like leaks in a submarine......help
