New HyStyle Mask!!!!

Post by GoofyUT » Sun Jul 16, 2006 7:41 pm

I'm pleased to announce the impending commercial release of the new (non-FDA approved) HyStyle xPAP nasal interface! Though our marketing department has not yet produced glossies and photos (and are out now looking for new jobs), experienced xPAP clinicians including janitorial personnel will notice a striking resemblance to the popular Swift/Breeze/Aura/Comfortlite 2/Activa/ComfortGel/Comfortful/UMII/UMFF/Vista/Hans Rudfolph/Porky Pig interfaces that have found such widespread use today!!!

The new HyStyle interface comes fully equipped and packaged with a roll of duct tape (in your choice of colors), a pair of "experienced" pantyhose (to keep costs reasonable), an Exacto knife for your field surgical adjustments, some fishing line, some twist ties (like you find in your supermarket's produce section), a gallon of Tincture of Benzoin (for those impromptu parties that you're gonna have now that you're sleeping better), a pound of AyrGel (also for the parties; use your imagination) AND the twenty-four hour a day telephone number of our fitting specialists and emergency automobile service consultants.

How can you lose???

ORDER YOURS NOW!!!!!!

Chuck~

Extremely appropriate post, considering all the tinkering everyone has been doing lately on their masks (esp the Hybrid)

Thanks for the laugh!

Happy Sleeping.
Suzy

GoofyUT, That new mask is certified for use with the new line of XPAP's, that are now hitting the market, that work almost as good, as the old line, but cost more, because they are a little lighter, aren't they? Will the new model be just the low end mask, and later they will add the bells ans whistles, that we all need? Jim

Mine might qualify, if it didn't have so many of those little rectangular holes all over it!

Does a glue gun and epoxy count, if it's only used to hold the orgional parts on? Jim

Offerocker, The first model, is like the model"T", just one color. But they do list a web site you can order rainbow spray paint. Jim

Chuck, so glad you are environmentally sensitive to the plight of all those moles, so much so that mole skin is no where on your list. For all those little fellers just let me say thanks.

Is Vaseline® officially out of style? Just checking.

Great question.

And: anyone out there use a suggestion made by an RT/DME ? .... nah, this one's stupid. Those who got the proper suggestion probably didn't arrive here looking for solutions....
