Leaky Swift FX pillows

Post by SleepingUgly » Mon Aug 27, 2012 1:40 pm

Does anyone have a link to the pantyhose or other antileak technique for pillows? I know at one time there were pictures and step by step directions, but I can't find them. My father has a leaky Swift FX (regular headgear)... Thanks!

Same idea as Roosters tights thing for the Hybrid.

Is this what you were thinking? It's in the CPAP Wiki...under Hybrid modifications.

Is this what you were looking for? I just did a search for "pantyhose" and a number of different threads came up, so you might give that a try if this thread/picture doesn't work for you.

Thanks, folks! I'm trying to move my father over to the Activa-LT, which I hope will be more stable under his high pressures. If he can't adjust to that, I may turn back to these fixes for pillows.

I think this is the link you wanted. There you have a link for the Knot we use with the pantyhose leg
