Large Bridge Nose
Large Bridge Nose
I have a large bridge nose, and every night I use my CPAP I get redness so badly that it either causes a cut, or stays red all day. 1) It this common with all users regardless of nose size. 2) If not is there a certain type of mask that works bets. Also I'm a former boxer and can't breath out of my nose so yes I'm a mouth breather who cannot use nasal pillows (already tried).

Re: Large Bridge Nose
Which mask are you using now that is causing this problem? There are many masks out there and surely one will meet your needs without hurting your nose.

If you need a full face mask check out the Amara View. You have to learn how to fit it, but for me it works the best I have tried

If the Amara View Is the best you have tried, why does your profile say you are using the F&P Simplus? Just wondering.

Re: Large Bridge Nose
I have the same nose problem for basically the same reasons you experienced... I use Padacheek cloth mask liners which a lot of people on this forum swear by. There is also Remzzz cotton liners, another good product but more expensive. I use them with the Airfit F10 full face mask which may or may not accommodate your face. It's all personal. Please fill in your equipment profile to help us out.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
