OxyMask OM-1125-8

Perfect for people on 24/7 oxygen for a break from nasal cannulas. Works well with concentrator and large enough for 6 foot husband. Have ordered a few, his pulmonologist has approved its use

I will note that this mask from the seller (listed below) from whom I purchased, does come complete with the hose connector that fits perfectly to the oxygen condenser that we have. The seller also quickly answered and provided a link to purchase an adapter in the event that someone needs a much longer hose/line.While it might be more direct and efficient to use nose tubes, (I do not know the medically correct names for things), when a frightened elder who is struggling for oxygen, but breaths thru mouth when nose tubes are placed... well this mask absolutely is a lifesaver!!!My precious family member is not able to truly understand why she is struggling with her oxygen, and actually fought the mask initially, but after just a moment or two... lay there & actually relaxed and smiled. There are not enough good words for this mask which does (I tried it on my face first) provide oxygen to both the nose and mouth area, and it does not make you claustrophobic by having a sealed in face mask.The seller from whom I purchased this," Sold by: LMD Eshop (seller profile)"very quickly answered a questions when asked, and shipped this mask so quickly that I got it before I typically get prime delivery items. THANK YOU!!!I know that most folks who use oxygen need no assistance, but My precious family member has some severe challenges, and things frighten her so very easily. She fought against the mask provided by the home health company, allowed the nose tubes for only moments at a time - even though she was struggling to breath.This mask - she even asked for the mask back after we had stopped the oxygen for a while... (O2 back up to 95) this is also a mask that I am able to hold up to her face when she is asleep (No, the elastic bands that come with most masks including this one are not things that my person will let me use)Sorry so long but there may be other folks in my situation. This mask is awesome for the anxious patient, may have to hold it in place for just a few minutes, and they then realize how comfortable it is. Thank you!!!

Good mask. I got it to wear at night while sleeping. Is a little small for my face so I bought the large one also. Well made. Very functional for what it is intended to do.

First, I find that I could get these a lot cheaper through my drug store but I needed to get a prescription first from my doctor, no problem.I like the holes in the mask as I can also take in outside air and expel same.It would be nice to have a medium size mask but the smaller one that’s available works for me as it puts the oxygen closer to my nose and mouth.In my opinion the large mask would keep the oxygen a little further away from my nose/mouth and would not work for me as well.I still use the cannula occasionally but it either irritates my nose or I’m constantly removing it because my nose runs and clogs it up,I’m also more of a mouth breather anyway. I have used these masks for over a year and a half and never had the tube pull out even when wearing it all night and all day. In time the elastic does start to thin out but that’s not a problem as I either cut off the ends and knot it up or replace the elastic.It’s my understanding that you will get more oxygen using a cannula but in my case I would not because my nose would clog it up.So, I expect the mask is not for everyone however it may work better for others like myself?I like this mask a lot compared to the solid masks with no holes. It’s not as confining and people can hear me talk with my mask on. I still need to put the cannula on while eating although I can use a straw for drinking as I fit the straw through the holes in the mask.I recommend it if you can find it at a lower price like I did (about half the cost)!

Make you sure you check with your physician about this particular product. The excessive ventilation holes means that your received oxygen flow will be lower than the indicated output of your concentrator setting. This comes with documentation showing what the actual liters are with the holes. My mom actually found this mask more comfortable than others, so I had to put tape over parts of the holes so she could use it. This worked but was challenging to maintain, as the tape edges would curl up or become damaged over time. You might also want to use a disinfectant wipe from time to time given all the handling of the mask. Another thing to keep in mind is the strong manufacturing smell when first opened. Put the mask where it can receive fresh air and sunlight so it can air out. It may take a couple or a few days so plan ahead.Try to be grateful for what is good, and enjoy every moment you have. Good luck.

I bought this for my mother-in-law with COPD, she hates a nasal cannula and a full face mask retains too much CO2, this gives great O2 delivery, maintaining O2 SATS greater than 90%, and is more comfortable for her to wear creating greater compliance.

The holes on this mask are significant. No way that 40 liters will get to the patient. More like 5 with 35 escaping. For a patient that may need 30-40, they would suffocate as they couldn't breathe the air. May be able to push 40 through the hose, but the rest is gone. As for returns, the mask was never put on as it was obvious that the air would leak but NO returns allowed. A complete waste of $20. Obviously will be looking for another mask but from a completely different seller.

With a spouse on high-flow oxygen therapy , wearing a mask that diffuses oxygen to both mouth and nose, gives them the ability to communicate with me, and drink through a straw makes such a difference! Highly recommend this product when you or your loved one needs more than 6lpm oxygen support. While we have to switch to a high-flow cannula for teeth brushing, meals, etc., this comfortable mask is able to be worn for hours at a time. It removes the claustrophobic feeling you get with most oxygen masks.
