F&P Infinity HC 481 Direct Nasal mask

Post by Bob Paragon » Sun Sep 25, 2005 9:53 pm

Does anyone have any comments on the use of this mask?? I'm presently using a Breeze Nasal unit ... with mixed results. I'm both a back and side sleeper ...

Until someone who has used it, or is using it, chimes in...here are some links to discussions about the Infinity. I've never tried it.

I have an Infinity that I tried. It did not work well for me. I had to hold the tube thing in place which does not make for very restful sleep. It seemed to me that the plastic was too heavy for the strap and you couldn't tighten the strap enough to hold it up.
I bought it because it was not so suffocating looking. My mistake.

I tried one briefly - during my sleep study and again for a few hours on another night. I woke up every time I moved because the swivel joint did not seem to move very freely, the nasal part would shift, and basically it felt like I had to manually reposition the whole apparatus and tubing every time I moved. Though I admit that isn't a fair test, it was enough for me!
