Home Made CPAP accessories

[IsrvChrist]

Does anyone have any ideas for Home Made CPAP accessories or other things you can substitute? For a hose clip I used a clip-on curtain ring. An item that cost US$9.99 I got a box of eight or so for like US$3.00. Of course I got the box on clearance (so I bought all they had left), but usually price is like the same as it cost for 1 hose clip. With the rings though, the hose slides back and forth through it easier keeping it in place yet allowing for movement.



Any other ideas on cost savings for a CPAP user?

That was a good idea, Isrv. Thanks for posting it.

Here's a pretty interesting old discussion that has similarly creative ideas -- some of 'em are moneysavers, too:

You might want to add your curtain ring trick to that discussion, too.

And here's another thread with some creative ideas: viewtopic/t53096/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=47017. The title of the thread is "CPAP on the Cheap and Creative Modifications." A few of mine are shown there, as well as many others. Your curtain ring clip is a great idea!
