Full-Face Mask Aids Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea

By HospiMedica International staff writers
Posted on 25 Aug 2009
A compact full-face mask for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) covers only the nose and mouth, offering an obstructed view for patients.

The Philips FullLife full-face mask is smaller and lighter than current masks, since the conventional forehead pad is eliminated to provide the patient with a clear line of sight. More...
A newly designed, dual-textured cushion reduces leaks and creates a solid seal, even with patient movement. A single faceplate fits all three sizes (small, medium, and large), and a step-by-step numbered headgear system makes assembly and fitting easy. Both regular FitPack and DuoPack (extra cushioning) fitting and supply replacement options are available. The Philips FullLife mask is a product of Royal Philips Electronics (Philips, Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

"The FullLife mask is built on the same platform as our successful OptiLife mask, which was introduced in 2007,” said Gretchen Jezerc of Philips Home Healthcare Solutions. "With a minimalist design and lightweight, durable materials, FullLife provides comfort and convenience for patients. Among its features, a clear line of sight benefits patients who feel claustrophobic, and an integrated exhalation port makes it exceptionally quiet for patients and their bed partners.”
