CPAP Nasal Mask vs. CPAP Full Face Mask


The Nasal CPAP mask is designed to fit over the nose. This type of mask is available in many different sizes and models, as well as differing cushion types. The Nasal mask cushion is available in silicone, gel, or plastic. In addition, other nasal CPAP masks include Nasal Pillow interfaces. The Nasal Pillow CPAP interface is more lightweight than standard Nasal CPAP masks. While the CPAP Therapy is applied directly through the nasal passages via Nasal Pillows, this process is accomplished via small inserts (called Nasal Pillows) at the base of the nare. The advantages of the nasal masks include wide varieties in style, size and material and cost and light-weight masks. There are many manufacturers of masks which include RedMed, Respironics, Fisher & Paykel.
The Full Face CPAP mask is designed to fit over the nose and the mouth. This type of mask is designed to combat the problem of opening the mouth during sleep. If a patient opens their mouth during sleep, the therapeutic effect of CPAP escapes through this opening. Fisher & Paykel has created a unique "under the chin" design in the HC431 and HC432 which helps patients keep their mouth closed throughout the night. The Full Face CPAP mask is limited in style and the cost is significantly higher than most nasal masks.
