Re: Does Vaseline affect the shape of silicon nasal pillows?

There's no such thing, the word "bipap" isn't anywhere on the machine. There are, however, a number of very different Aircurve 10 bilevel machines. My doctor's office called it a BiPAP. Before I wrote this post I went and physically looked at the machine to see what model it is, and it's an AirCurv...
