SAN DIEGO (April 21, 2014)—ResMed has expanded its ultralight, comfortable and award-winning AirFit line of masks with new nasal and full face options. The AirFit F10 compact full face mask and AirFit N10 compact nasal mask continue the company's 25-year history of innovating comfortable and effective solutions for treating sleep-disordered breathing. "These new masks embody the AirFit brand, which is all about providing patients with lightweight, comfortable, and trusted solutions for treating their sleep-disordered breathing," said Jon Yerbury, vice president of ResMed's Sleep-Disordered Breathing Strategic Business Unit. "We know that if the mask isn't right, nothing else matters; mask comfort is the key to staying on therapy. Like all of our masks, we've invested in decades of research to ensure patient-centric designs are at the very core of the AirFit brand." The AirFit F10 delivers comfort, stability and performance in a simple design, and has all the benefits of a traditional full face mask in a compact form. Patients will benefit from its circular diffused venting that directs exhaled air more evenly and makes it less likely to rebound off surrounding objects or bed partners, creating a more peaceful sleeping environment. In ResMed testing, patients preferred the AirFit F10 over ResMed's leading compact full face mask in terms of seal, comfort, stability and ease of use. The absence of a forehead support makes the AirFit F10 unobtrusive without sacrificing stability, and an audible three-click cushion-to-frame retention system improves usability. The mask's dual-wall Spring Air cushion provides a comfortable and reliable seal by gently conforming to the face. The lightweight AirFit N10 compact nasal mask stands out with its comfort and visual freedom in a user-friendly design. In ResMed testing, patients preferred the AirFit N10 over other industry-leading nasal masks in terms of ease of use, comfort, unobtrusiveness and stability. At less than 3 ounces, the AirFit N10 has a sleek under-eye frame that offers unobtrusive support without sacrificing stability, and as a result, provides a clear line of sight. Its modified dual-wall Spring Air cushion provides a comfortable and effective seal, while EasyClick headgear clips make it convenient to wear by securing the headgear to the frame with ease. Integrated lightweight, flexible tubing and minimal parts add to the nasal mask's appeal. Visit resmed.com for more information.
