cracked mask

Post by hose nose 2 » Thu Feb 17, 2005 9:20 pm

What causes my comfort gel mask to crack? I have had 2 masks just since I started on Dec. 3rd to use c-pap and both of them have cracked. I try not to cause alot of pressure on them by having them too tight.

Where is the mask cracking? Have you spoken to the company that dispensed it? If it is a defect, the manufacturer will probably replace it to the DME that dispensed it to you, and then they can replace for you. Unless you are unusually hard on it, or if it is breaking while cleaning. Give your provider a call. Can't hurt.
