RESPIRONICS’ FIRST FULL-FACE MASK
The ComfortGel Full mask is Respironics’ first full-face mask with a replaceable gel cushion and builds upon the success of our blue gel technology. Respironics’ blue gel technology sets the standard and takes the full-face mask to the next level of comfort, seal and stability. We strive to improve our products and this new mask is a natural outcome of that effort. Our gel products provide patients with a robust seal and a comfortable fit, allowing them to achieve a good night’s sleep.
NO OTHER FULL-FACE MASK CAN OFFER
We believe our gel technology leads to greater comfort and increased compliance. The unique sure seal technology (SST) flap provides a membrane-thin layer over the gel cushion to follow the contours of the face better, allowing wearers to quickly achieve the comfortable seal they need. The removable gel cushion, superior seal and easy-to-clean design make the ComfortGel Full mask ideal for a sleep lab setting. A benefit to homecare providers, the DuoPack replacement kit offers two same-size cushions, allowing for easier stocking and supply replacement. These features, combined with our enhanced forehead pad and StabilitySelector, create a level of comfort and stability no other full-face mask can offer.
DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS AND SLEEP PROFESSIONALS
Respironics conducted extensive market research over the past few years to help us to define the needs of the patient and sleep professionals. We found that there was a glaring need for a comfortable, easy-to use, full-face gel mask that seals well and does not interfere with how people sleep. We started with those requirements and then honed the ComfortGel Full design with thorough engineering testing and comprehensive user preference assessments.
