[wmcanally]

Can anyone give me feedback on this masks. A friend of mine has it and loves it It what im thinking about telling the Dr id like to try.

Hybrid full face CPAP Mask with nasal pillows and headgear by Innomed

That's the one I use and I like it better than any of the 8 masks that I have tried. Be sure you read Rosters post on Taming The Hybrid............a wealth of good info. It takes a week or two to get the tweeks out of this mask but it is well worth the effort..so much so that I have my original and 2 backups.

I tried it (the Resmed Hybrid Liberty) at home for 30 min and returned it the next day to my DME who said that ony 1% of mask users use it.

I have allergies and constant nasal congestion. Due to being unable to breath through my nose, I tried several full face masks but felt very claustrophobic. For the past two years I have been satisfied with the Resmed Liberty. It takes some time to tweak the nasal pillows to get them from leaking. Good luck!

Before this gets TOO confusing... the OP specified the Innomed Hybrid (now distributed by RespCare). The ResMed Liberty is a DIFFERENT mask...similar hybrid design, but different manufacturer, and completely different fit.

For the record, I could not get the Liberty to work for me. The Hybrid is a Godsend, once tuned in.

I havent seen my script yet was supposed to get today. Doctor didnt get it sent over. I was told by my DME if the pressure is prescribed at a high rate then the pillows may not work. well see when the script comes. ( ill be on the phone by lunch if i havent recieved it.) The doctors office isnt moving fast enough for me. I guess they are very busy.

We have had posters here who had very high pressures and used the hybrid successfully! Here is a link to Roosters post about the hybrid;
