Respironics Fullface mask fit-help!

Post by Janetlm » Thu Feb 04, 2010 4:14 pm

Sorry to bother you-all, but i cannot scare up the great suggestions for getting the Fullface to fit--all those straps, can't seem to
get it under control. If you knowledgeable folks could point out to me any previous emails, i would appreciate it; i have to decide
by next week if i wish to keep the mask or not, and i really need better info than the DME provided.
Thank You,
Janetlm (leonbergergirl)

I just traded for the Mirage Quattro.....fits across my nose so much better, and I can tighten it airtight.....we will see how tonight goes!

If you can get it to fit without leaking, you will be in the minority. Sorry--can't help you here, nothing worked to get this mask not to leak profusely for me.

I think there is a way to work with the Full Face mask, I have one and I liked the therapy I received from it. I felt good and alert in the mornings, but it did a number on the bridge of my nose. I tried several different ways to get it to stop - well, I had it before the new nose bridge item. I have changed to the Quattro and I really like it.

I wish you well on the full life. If you get it to work for you, post about your success. I think someone will find a way for it to fit satisfactorily.

Good wishes, Jan
