Masks


Posted by Rich in Richardson on January 21, 2002 at 14:53:03:

Hi, I am new to this way of life. I got my equipment Dec. 28th. I did not like the small mask that fit over the nose only. The air just blew in my nose and out my mouth, even with a chin strap. So my respiratory therapist recommended a full face Mirage Series 2. I don't like the way my mask fits and it is supposed to be the newest, bestest, ever! I must have higher than average cheek bones because it rocks back and forth on them. Therefore leaks at the top or bottom depending on which edge is touching the pillow. Has anyone ever heard of custom made masks?
