Hybrid mask going away?

Post by LinkC » Thu Jan 09, 2014 7:55 pm

My DME just told me they can't order the Hybrid (Innomed) anymore. He wasn't sure if the problem lies with their main office or with the supplier.

Had anyone else heard that? I have a couple of old-but-usable ones, so I'm good for a year or so, but I'd hate go thru the "mask wars" with another brand/design unless I'm forced to. If it's just this DME (not enough profit, etc) I guess I'll be interviewing DMEs. Sigh.

Probably a lie; I just checked the product page on cpap.com, and they appear to have over a thousand in stock.

I just ordered one online over the weekend with no problem.

I'm hoping this hybrid mask works out, I really like the concept. I can't keep a full face on all night and get too many mouth leaks with a nasal mask. I've read good things about it.

I haven't tried any that work nearly as well. I have a Liberty but, without the chin cup, it kept slipping off.

Re$Med probably insisted the DME stop selling it because of slipping sales of the Liberty.
