Copyright (c) 2009 Chris Vasta The CPAP Shop http://www.thecpapshop.com We have all been there, the endless search for that perfect CPAP mask. Contacting several companies, checking blogs, and customer feedback trying to determine which mask is best suited for my face. Sometimes, the search seems fruitless. You, of course, are not alone. Our top selling mask over the past 2 years has been the Respironics Comfort Gel nasal mask ( Supporting Image: http://thephantomwriters.com/client-img/oldnew-cpap.jpg ). In the course of many customer reviews a common thread has emerged: The headgear keeps the mask secure so that it does not move easily and the gel cushion creates an excellent seal which molds to your face. This is all wonderful news, until you experience the sound of cracking plastic. A few years ago Respironics, examined the two lower connecting ball and socket connection of the gel mask which had a tendency to break during sleep. Respironics determined this was a fragile point and needed a redesign. The decision to strengthen this area has been well received by our customers, as many of them became discouraged with the constant breaking. Although Respironics did honor their standard 90-day warranty, CPAP users simply wanted the mask to not break so easily. The newer version of the mask was released and this improvement did extend the effective life of the mask. However many users did not view this as a significant improvement over the original design and still experienced breaking issues after only 2 or 3 months of use. The Wait Is Over! Respironics went back to the drawing board and recently began shipping a new and improved version of their most popular mask; the Comfort Gel Nasal Mask. This time they got it right. Without disturbing the well designed gel cushion and forehead assembly, they simply reinforced the weak points at the connection head gear connection points. Keeping the same ball and joint design, the added plastic braces the mask against the constant pulling and jerking that occurs during CPAP use. We have put the new design through some rigorous testing and the new design holds up much better than the original mask. >From our own customer surveys, the issue which is at the top of the list of concerns is the masks durability. With the Respironics Comfort Gel, once the ball and socket clips break, the mask was rendered useless. The new version completely addressed that concern while maintaining the overall durability and dependability of the mask seal which continues to deliver a consistently high comfort and satisfaction level. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Chris Vasta of The CPAP Shop.
