To put it simply, masks are mainly divided into nasal pillow type, nasal mask and oronasal mask because of their different covering parts.
Nasal pillows are used to plug the inside of the nostrils. Users whose treatment pressure is not high on a ventilator can choose this one because it covers a smaller area on the face, allowing them to wear glasses, watch TV, etc. .
There are many kinds of nasal masks, the more comfortable ones include dynamic or gel masks. Economical options include high-quality nasal masks and other slightly lower-priced options.
As the name suggests, an oronasal mask refers to a mask that completely covers the mouth and nose. The largest covering area is on the face. It is generally used for users with poor lung function. The silicone part is relatively thin, so you need to pay attention when using it.
