Next generation of masks?

Post by PJ the DJ » Wed Sep 22, 2010 8:32 pm

I've got to believe that new mask designs periodically show up on the market...

Right..?

---but not, I fear, new sizes; based on the unique facial biometrics of human beings who actually suffer from Obstructive sleep apnea.
So, basically, no.

To some degree. It's quite a bit slower than watching paint dry, but yeah, it does happen.

I just looked back at a price list I saved from CPAP.COM from five years ago and the lists by manufacturers is missing some that are there now. Back then, there were no "hybrid-type" masks. There are a few more full face masks since then, too.
