Why Choose a CPAP Full Face Mask?
Full coverage of the airway
One of the biggest advantages of full face CPAP masks is their ability to cover the entire face, including the mouth and nose. The design of a full face mask is ideal for people who breathe through the mouth or suffer from nasal congestion. By sealing off all airways, full face masks can effectively treat sleep apnea regardless of how you breathe during sleep.
Minimizes air leaks
Full face masks are known for their excellent ability to minimize air leaks, a common problem with other types of CPAP masks. These masks provide a secure fit over the mouth and nose, reducing the likelihood of air leaks. This ensures a more effective and consistent airflow throughout the night. Reducing air leaks improves both the effectiveness of the therapy and the comfort of the patient.
Suitable for high pressure settings
Some people require higher air pressure settings to effectively treat their sleep apnea. Full face mask is particularly suitable for this as they cause less discomfort or side effects caused by air pressure. Common side effects caused by air pressure include dry eyes or nasal congestion, which can occur with nasal or nasal pillow masks. Thanks to the secure seal, the required pressure is maintained without discomfort.
CPAP Full face masks suitable for facial hair
Full face masks are often a better choice than nasal masks if you have facial hair or a beard. Facial hair can affect the seal of nasal masks, leading to air leaks and reduced therapy effectiveness. However, a full face mask works well with facial hair and ensure consistent therapy, even if the wearer prefers a beard or moustache.
Improved sleep quality
CPAP Full face masks offer numerous benefits, from improved comfort to supporting higher air pressure levels. These factors contribute to a better quality of sleep. A well-fitting full face mask ensures a consistent supply of oxygen throughout the night. By preventing breathing interruptions, you can sleep deeper and more restfully, which in turn reduces daytime sleepiness.
