C-Pap leaks

Post by lazerguy » Sun Jul 01, 2012 9:59 am

I have been using a C-pap for 8 years. There is no perfect mask. With the ResMed Quatro FX, I develop a rash on the corner of my lips but mask doesn't leak air. Since I am a mouth breather, my doc recommended the ResMed Mirage Liberty (nasal pillows). It works fine till around 3 am and pillows start to leak & can't adjust them to stop leak. Go I get out of bed & change to the Quatro FX.
I clean masks, seals and pillows daily. Advice & opinions welcomed.

Have you looked at Roosters little tip about using tights to add a bit of security to the nasal pillows?
