Re: Smallest nasal mask / pillow possible for outsidie use

Update: My Swift FX mask came and it fits wonderfully. Better seal, easier to put on by myself and it doesn't fidget around as much when I'm sitting in my wheelchair with my head in the headrest. Backpack arrived too and fits nicely to the back of the chair. And I'm next on the list for a wheelchair...

So a portable machine is out of the question, as they are all apparently preset settings only. And portable non-invasive ventilators ar...

Re: Smallest nasal mask / pillow possible for outsidie use

Thank-you very much! And I'll most certainly check back with what gets decided. Very excited about this. I've not been outside by myself in over a decade. Craving it. You might also look at the nasal pillow mask that I use. See the link in my equipment profile. The ResMed Airfit P10 nasal pillow mas...

Re: Smallest nasal mask / pillow possible for outsidie use

Re: Smallest nasal mask / pillow possible for outsidie use

Oh no I understand that my breathing specialist already knows all this. He's the one that recommended I use it more to help combat this weakness, to help mee more active. I haven't yet enquired on a mask as I'm looking around first

Hello! UK resident here, male, age 23. Been using the cpap for going on 8 or 10 years (I think, its been a long time), nippy 3+.
