A new CPAP mask design, if you haven't seen it.

Post by Rustyolddude » Wed Jul 15, 2009 6:59 am

Ran across this researching, Italian design. I guess if you sleep standing up.

Well they could have at least put a shirt on the poor girl. That looks miserable!

They ripped off the diving helmets that they use at resorts for uncertified tourists.

Looks like there would be no leak issues with this "whole head" CPAP mask!

They make a mask, too, with a "peep valve."

Forget the masks and let's just get fully encapsulating hyperbaric chambers....or better yet, iron lungs! I bet the insurance and DMEs would have a field day with those!

Now, that's a real deal! Only $16,900.00! Would be great for camping, too!

No, it clearly states that "supine position" is supported...
So, back sleeping only... no side sleeping for you any more...

What's interesting is that they bothered to give her a "model" haircut with "model" makeup for that photo...

I thought this was a joke from a bad SciFi movie.
Even scarier that this is a real product.
Maybe old Dr Who episodes will give me some CPAP ideas.

Hindu god of intellect and wisdom. Remover of Obstacles.
I am not a Hindu or a god, just Mark from New Jersey. But the CPAP mask makes me look like Ganesha.

Holy crap! I didn't notice the link for the flyer before! This is really for CPAP!?! I thought this was a joke! I bet the maker was a big fan of HR Puffnstuff too.....

And yes, while I am a man that love the sight of a beautiful woman, I agree with Cassandra and please get the girl some clothes for the advertisement.

Well, do YOU sleep fully dressed? I rather like what she's wearing (well, except what she's wearing on her head...)
