Does anyone have an F&P Oracle452 they don't want ?

Am interested in getting one to chop up as per one of our resident genius's inspiration.

Was hoping I could get a cheap one to experiment on (suitably boiled )
rather than pay new price only to hack it apart.

Pls PM if u have one

Price negotiable

Cheers

You can just have mine. I'll PM you...

DSM,

You can have mine with my blessings. I did chop mine up to try to make the device for mouth breathing. I have one untouched soft seal (the other I cut trying to make it work, so it might not be usable anymore). But it's already in the state to make it that device. You may need to do some extra work to it to customize it for yourself.

Now, I have the newer of the two Oracles. Does that matter? It doesn't have the tongue guide in it as the old one did. Let me know if you want it. I'll run it through the dishwasher and send it out to you. You don't have to pay for it. You are a sweet guy and I won't ever use it again, so you can just have it.

Does this mean you, too, don't like Dr. Sue's device??? PM me back when you can. I am going to be at work today, but I'm not leaving until about 10 AM. Don't know how that correlates to your time "down under."

PS: I use Tegaderm and they work great. No need for anything in your mouth all night. Have you ever tried that?

Lori,

PM on its way.

Re Tegaderm. I had been using 2cm waterproof bandage strips but they were damaging my lips after a couple of days use.

I will try our local chemist for tegaderm & give it a try.

I did a post re Dr Sue's NB - mostly I just can't seem to keep my tongue in it now seems that & anytime I go back to a nasla mask I get a bad nights slepp for a variety of air related reasons.

Cheers

Will be waiting for the PM...

By the way, I wrote to Dr. Sue today (waiting for his reply, which he always does) and told him I'm giving up on his NB device. I'm just one of those people who, when a device like that is in their mouth, produces too much saliva. The last thing I need to contend with is something else to keep waking me up during the night, and it did.

I have to say, with the Aura, I won't have much reason to wake up anymore since there is no hose across me to move all night anymore, no barrel to bump into my pillow and dislodge my nasal pillows as I had with the Swift, and the interface is so comfortable that I don't even feel it on (and it hasn't leak yet...).

So I'm saying sayonara to the Dr. Sue mouthpiece, unless he comes up with some way to stop the problem.

Lori
Seems that PM got lost - I have discovered today that if there is no topic entered the PM doesn't go. This is unlike posts in the forums.

Will redo it now.

Cheers

DSM,

I learned that the hard way, too. Must have a subject line if you want your PMs to make it to their recipient.

I have already read and replied before seeing this post, so all is well.
