For those interested in Comfort Curve mask

Post by jsmythe » Fri Dec 28, 2007 7:31 am

I just read something interesting about the fit of the Comfort Curve mask for those who are thinking about buying one but not sure of the fit:

"Manufacturer: Respironics
Product Code: 1019185

Recommended for people with a nose no wider than 1-7/8in. (44cm) at the nostrils."

I would like to add if you have a round or wide face, don't bother with the Comfort Curve, you will never get the dang thing to seal around your nose unless you have an unusually large/long nose.

Work like you don't need the money;
Love like you've never been hurt;
Dance like nobody's watching.

Treesap, I think it's hard to get the CC to fit without leaking on ANY face or nose. I sure couldn't get it to work for me. Have seen posts from only a few that did get along with it.
