Looking for a new/used FF mask

Post by znurtdog » Tue Oct 02, 2012 3:24 pm

Hi, after my first week with CPAP and a nasal pillow, I think I'm going to need a FF mask to cover nose and mouth. All my expenses are out of pocket so I am hoping to find one here, for less money, from someone that may have an 'extra' or one they decided doesn't work for them. My sleep study used a medium mask that seemed to work fine though I don't know the brand. I am not uncomfortable trying a mask that someone else has used as long as it's in good shape and properly taken care of (cleaned). I tried a chin strap 5 nights ago, but I am still in jaw pain and can barely eat after just one night with it. Thanks in advance, Jon

Call your local provider and ask if they have one that was returned
Or used as a demo some places will sell them to you much cheaper
Some will even give them to you. I do not have health insurance so my
Local provider will sell me a demo for less then 1/2 price it would not
Hurt to ask. Call every oxygen and Cpap provider in your area. All
They can say is no good luck !

The DMEs get their demo masks free...they shouldn't charge for them.
