Masks exchange?

[lvehko]

I'm finding myself wondering about this possibly gross subject...

It seems like most places you buy masks won't accept returns on them after they've been opened. This makes sense, from a 'sanitary' point of view, but -- what do people who've tried multiple masks end up doing with the ones that don't work? It just seems a real shame for them to be trash when there are so many people out there who could use them. If they're autoclaved, or even just cleaned well, they should be perfectly safe if they've only been used a couple of times. Is there a place to send 'gently used' cpap masks where they will be put to good use? Or do people here generally swap without worrying too much about it? Inquiring minds...

Most, if not all, mask manuals have the procedure for cleaning masks when they are used by multiple people, like in a sleep center or by DMEs.

I don't really have any masks to trade. However, I do have some unused 'seals' that I would like to trade for the size I use:

__CL2 Simple Cushion size small, trade for a large or medium.

__CL2 Nasal Pillow size small, trade for medium.

F&P HC431 size large, trade for small.

F&P HC431 size medium, trade for small.

These are like new, clean, and never slept in..

PM me if interested,,

btw - If anyone is starting a mask museum, I have one used Adam Circuit
mask that I might donate..
