Are there any new type CPAP masks (for sleep apnea)?
January 30th, 2011
For those of us with sleep apnea its very hard to obtain info on new apnea products.
I have Sleep Apnea, but I depend on my Dr., who also has Sleep Apnea, to suggest what masks to use. We just got done fitting me for a new mask and after 9 years I am finally getting a new machine, with warm air mist. Here is the web link the national sleep apnea organization. They have a forum that can possibly answer any specific questions you may have.

And here is the google search.

Type in "sleep apnea" Yahoo search and there are many resources there.
Or "you need sleep.com" has a few new masks and other things.

Have you talked to your home-care company that supplies your home CPAP? They would be a good resource. If not, check out Respironics on the web. They supply most of the home cpap’s and supplies. There are tons of different mask options out there, from full face to nasal masks, and even some that just fit into your nostrils and are very flexible and comfortable. If you see one you like, make a note about the product name and number, and see a home-care company. Most insurance plans will authorize a new mask every 6 months-1 year, but I’d check with them first to see about their reimbursement policy. If you have to pay for it out of pocket they can get pretty pricey.
