Nasal masks and pressure

I ordered a nasal mask from cpap.com.

I have tried full face masks. Hurt my jaw.

I have a Respironics Comfortgel. That is not too bad.

Now I am trying the Aclaim 2 Standard. Look promising in the reviews.

I was also thinking of a nasal prong system.

My pressure is 16. I just hate it... thank goodness for Cflex.

When you get to that high a pressure, will nasal prong systems work? Like the swift II?????

What is a good "non FF" mask that won't leak much under high pressure?

This mask roulette is starting to hurt my credit card!

I think the Resmed Activa would be a good choice. It is not a nasla prong mask.... but it is a nasal mask.

It uses an active cell that blows up like a ballon. One adjusted right.... and I mean probably like one or two times only... it will fit good.... won't be tight and best yet won't leak.

The Swift II is a nasal pillow mask not a prong mask. I have used the Swift and Swift II up to 14 cm H2O and have been able to get seals. I HAVE had difficulty maintaining that seal when side sleeping. I have had better side sleep luck with the Comfort Lite 2. It is also a nasal pillow type.

Right off the top I cannot name a prong type mask.

Although my pressure is not as high as yours I second the NA II. I have a brother-in-law that is at 17 and the NA II is the only thing he ever found thar really sealed.
