Red marks on face from glidder straps on Fisher and Paykel

Post by bjdfw » Fri May 02, 2008 7:53 am

Thied Quattro and had lots of leaks.

Therefore tried Fisher and Paykel and works much better, but the glidder straps leave a red mark on face. Something that didn't happen with Quattro.

Maybe I have a high pressure setting of 16 and that needs the mask to be more tight to seal, but any suggestions to avoid the red marks from the glidder strap? That glidder strap is basically a wire, thin as a wire, actually is a wire.
