Mask liners

CPAP mask liners improve the seal on full facial masks, significantly reducing air leakage and enabling better sleep for those using BiPAPs and NIVs for breathing support. These liners also prevent skin irritation, rashes, and red blotchy marks caused by extended mask wear. The liners work best as a final step after ensuring the mask is properly fitted and adjusted for optimal performance.

Description

Using masks with BIPAPs and NIVs is necessary to maintain our breathing. However, we often deal with fit issues and rashes due to excessive wear. This combination is frustrating for those of us who have to rely on these devices to live.

The mask liners help with the seal on full facial masks. Steve was able to sleep much better with these liners in place. They greatly reduced the leakage of the mask. Be sure you have a good fitting mask and that it is adjusted correctly. The filters only work when you have the best fit possible. The mask liners are the last step in the process.

The mask liners also help reduce irritation and rashes. It was nice not to a red, blotchy face from wearing a mask.
