Once you are diagnosed with sleep apnea, finding the perfect CPAP machine and mask is the next step. Finding a perfectly fitting mask is very important. The entire treatment can turn out to be redundant without a comfortable and well fitted mask. Keeping this in mind, nasal masks are the most popularly prescribed apnea masks in Ontario. It is especially suitable for new patients during their initial trials.
Nasal masks cover the entire nose and are held in place with stretchable straps. They are particularly suitable for fidgety sleepers as the side straps at the forehead and a mouth level keeps the mask in place. Also, since the mask covers minimal face surface, the patient can easily sleep on his sides and stomach. The secure suction action in nasal masks retains the air inside preventing allergies and dry mouth conditions.
To orient first time users, nasal masks in Ontario even come with cushions in gel, silicone, or plastic. Some masks come with nasal pillows which have inserts for air flow. The forehead and adjustable cushion straps ensure that the masks can be adjusted to suit the face of nearly every CPAP user.
Nasal masks are much lighter in weight than the full faced masks and does not make one feel claustrophobic. There are many options in terms of styles, make and brands offered by the CPAP clinics in Ontario. You can choose from a wide array, starting from popular brands like Respironics, ResMed, ComfortLite, Fisher and Paykel, Mirage, Breeze to other lesser known brands which are equally good, but available at a pocket-friendly budget.
While purchasing your nasal masks from a CPAP clinic in Ontario, it is important to consider the following:
1.The fitting of the nasal mask is of primal importance to prevent air leak. Otherwise, the treatment will be ineffective. Finding a nasal mask of the exact size and shape to fit snugly around the contour of your face can be very difficult. However, there are many nasal mask options in Ontario and you can ask your CPAP dealer to help you find the right size and shape.
2.Since the nasal mask is to be used for a prolonged period, ensure that its material is flexible and soft or it could not cause extreme discomfort, worsened sleep and allergies.
3.You can request for a trial of the nasal masks in Ontario or rent a particular mask before making your selection to confirm the ease and performance of the instrument before hand. Since nasal masks are not very cheap, it is prudent to try them out before purchasing a particular model.
