Bravo

Post by salsleepsolutions » Tue May 01, 2007 1:47 pm

The rep came by last week and dropped off 2 Bravo masks. I used it last night on one of our patients, got up to pressure 17cm and was impressed with the low expiratory port sound and the patient tolerated it well. I think this mask has some nice features, specially the different nasal insert capability.

Sal,

Were the pillows soft like the Hybrid pillows? Also, their web-site makes a big deal about the new Active Swivel feature. Did you find that it made a difference to patient comfort?

New2,
I have been using the Hybrid for the past week. I think I like it. It took me a couple of days to get used to having the oral mask over y mouth but I find that I'm getting good deep sleep. I still want to try the Bravo w/chin strap when it becomes available. Any update on when it will become available???
