full mask, non-magnetic

[gopher72]

Any recommendations for a full mask, non-magnetic head gear. Thank you!

I have one of the older full face mask models (fits over the bridge of the nose at the top - triangular shaped), the F & P Vitera.  No magnets.  IMO, one of the best older style, traditional full face masks.  Also have a much older Resmed Quattro FX I like a lot (very similar to the Vitera with a great, comfortable fit over the bridge of the nose.  

There are numerous hybrid full face masks now on the market (they are probably more comfortable than the older style since they fit under the nose to make the seal).  

2 here that I have seen at ApneaBoard that are pretty popular are the F & P Evora and the Resmed F40.  I am not sure if either of those have magnets though.  

I have an old dreamwear hybrid full face mask with magnets though. I don't use it often, but ok mask IMO.  

I encourage you to do research online as well.  I have looked at easily over 100 masks already in search of the best mask (I have, at times, high pressures with this ventilator).  I have 5 different masks at current.  Some members even rotate out a few masks when one mask gets uncomfortable or starts leaking.  

If anyone else has any favorite (non magnet) full face masks, please post for the OP.

Fisher and Paykel Evora Full hybrid is my newest mask. No magnets.

AirFit F40 has magnets.

Resmed Quattro FX the only mask that really works for me. I've used it many years. we have the same problem probably need something tight. this is the one you're looking for. it must be the Resmed Quattro FX. there are other quattro not the same.

If I may ask how do you like the Evora? I'm using a FFM now. Did u switch from an FFM? What do I need to know about using a hybrid? Thanks!

[gopher72]

Thanks for your response. How do u like it? Does it have nasal pillow (plugs in nostrils)?

Resmed F20 NM has no magnets.

I like the Evora Full. It's hybrid because it's full face lower, nasal cradle upper. Mask is fairly light, strap tension is moderate, leaks minimal if adjusted in the right order and not tight.

First mask I had was an Evora. Worked well, but I think the size was not right as I developed a skin breakdown where my lip meets my septum. Mask too big I think (L), so I'm going to try the small-medium (S-M). The L pushed the nostril opening against the septum, the s-m doesn't seem to. Very good seal, waiting for skin to totally heal, then try again. In the meantime, using the F20 NM.
