Some questions about masks

Post by fredpb » Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:30 pm

I have a new large mask, Respironics I think.

I think it is too small. Who makes BIG full face masks?

How about gel masks? Worth it? What advantages? My supplier
said they leak, and when they do, they are a nasty mess.

I still get the blowfish effect with my cheeks, but am used to it now.

Hans Rudolph makes big masks. They are the most popular line in Europe (think big Gallic noses...).

Surf Google for Hans Rudolph or search this forum. There's been alot of discussion recently about them.

I think Soyala is also popular in Europe with the big nose crowd.
