CPAP PRO Nasal Pillows CPAP/BiPAP "No Mask"

Post by finecomm » Mon Feb 08, 2010 4:52 pm

I am finally (after pulling teeth it seems) getting my prescription for my CPAP. I was given a loaner for a few days to try. My question, instead of a full face mask has anybody used the
CPAP PRO Nasal Pillows CPAP/BiPAP "No Mask" (stevenson indutries). It is supposedly designed by a CPAP user. I'm curious if this type of apparatus works better/worse/equal than a full mask.

I had to shave my beard of 20 years to get the full face mask to work. Wow, I have a chin!

Thanks.

Hi, and a belated welcome to the forum.

FYI, this mask has been discussed many times here. The results of a search of "NOMASK" produced nine pages of posts on the subject: search.php?keywords=NOMASK&terms=all&author=&fid
