ResMed Mirage Repair?

CPAP Talk Pals, I have been using the ResMed Mirage Liberty Full Face CPAP Mask system for many years. The elbow that attaches to the mask keeps failing. (Breaking away.) I'd like to repair the mask instead of the very costly route of replacing the mask over and over again. Can anyone recommend ways...

Re: CPAP Cleaners?

@ JamisWolf,

This sounds interesting. Do you use the "Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds"? The rest of their products looks like they are for body & hair cleaning.

(I would think you would want a product that cleans plastics not body cleansing.)

Re: CPAP Cleaners?

Hmmm. Thats what I did last night to wash my CPAP and I noticed that my face was pink today. (In the area around my mouththat was exposed to the pressurized air. Not so much the area that creates the seal or touches my face.) But then I did shave last night. I wonder if that agitated my skin. (Norm...

Irritated Throat CPAP Advice

CPAP & LapBand Stomach Pains?

Heya everyone, I just re-started using my CPAP machine last night after just over a week from my LapBand surgery. (6.4.12) When I woke up this morning I had a moderate amount of stomach pain. I didn't get any gurgles or noises but I had the impression that it was trapped air/gas. Once I started mov...

Re: Hybrid Universal Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear?

Very cool! I'm going to give it a try. I'm using a full face CPAP and i'm always having trouble with it being too loose because when it gets too tight it bothers my neck, nose, etc. I'm hoping this will be a fix for those problems.


Thanks,
Matt

Re: CPAP Pad (gel pad)

Hmmm. This looks like it has promise. I see the link that shows how it works. Dummy me. I can't find where to order this cool "CPCP Gel Pad" and how much one costs. I have a small "T" shaped jell strip that was supposed to help my nose soreness and get rid of my red spot. It kind of works but when ...
