Phillips Respironics chin guard

Post by BlackRaven135 » Sun Oct 08, 2017 1:51 pm

When I had my sleep study they used a chin guard on me. I was convinced though that I did not need it
once the study was over.
HOWEVER, I have reconsidered due to problem with little bubbles/blips of air escaping through my mouth
which often become full leaks
The bad news is I can find no instructions for the strap I have.
Does anyone else have the Respironics Premium Chin Strap?
I am fine with the vecro which goes over the head
but it has one more piece. That piece has one side that has slits but I cannot figure out
how to attach it to the other side (YES I am THAT clueless)
I used it last night and it kept slipping so this extra part is necessary
HOWEVER, it did stop the bubbles of air from becoming full-fledged leaks.
Thanks for any assistance.
