FFM with no forehead anchor

Post by Billy6 » Thu Feb 12, 2009 10:08 am

Has anyone had luck with the zzz mask or the HansRudolph mask? I'd like to try a mask without the forehead anchor, but the CPAP.com says that almost 50% return the zzz mask and almost 65% return the HansRudolph mask. That seems to be a high disapproval rate to me???

Yes - but you have to remember, not every mask works for every patient. THere are people who swear by a certain mask, and then others who hate it. You have to decide for yourself.

My favorite: Hybrid mask https://www.cpap.com/productpage/RespCa ... -Mask.html
I also use: F&P 432 https://www.cpap.com/productpage/FlexiF ... aykel.html

Neither of these touches the forehead.

I just ordered the zzz full face mask. I can't do the forehead posts/straps on my quattro. While the quattro works, the forehead post sits on a nerve in my forehead that makes my head tingle all day the next day. I tried some padding last night, but it didn't really work out. I will let you know how the zzz full face mask works out once I get it. Oh, my sister is also sending me a full face mask from her work (she works for a home medical company) to see how it works out. Apparently, it's a new mask the company is trying out to see if they should carry it.
