Where can I order mirage activa mask/headgear without a prescription?

Post by CyclonePap » Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:33 pm

I cant find it anywhere and my prescription has lapsed. The only places I could find it to buy were asking for a prescription. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Buy it as parts (a complete mask requires a script). Mask frame. Cushion. Head gear. No script required. CPAP.Com appears to have the elements needed to assemble the mask.

Rarely does one need a entire mask and headgear setup, usually one only needs to replace some of the parts, and parts don't require a prescription.

I need the part that holds the cushion. That's the mask frame? I ask because I've always been told it's the headgear but a lot of places say headgear and only sell the strap.

Is this the part you need? No RX required for just this part.

You can also check EBay...sometimes you can find an almost complete mask or complete mask and no RX is required

eta: don't follow this link. closer inspection reveals it's NOT the entire mask, as i thought it was.

thank you, pugsy!

Typically, headgear is the straps (plus buckle ends). The frame is the thing that holds the cushion (and that the headgear attaches to). The cushion (typically but not always comprised partly of silicone) also attaches to the frame and rests against your face. There, naturally, exceptions to these rules.

Putting the three pieces together yourself should take something less than a minute (and it is what you need to do after a complete cleaning anyway). Parts do not require a script. Personally, I see no huge advantage to buying a complete mask vs buying parts,
