Hi everyone!

Between the bi-pap, cough assist, and nebulizer treatments, the bridge of Dad's nose is terribly broken down. We've been trying to use tissue and gauze to ease the discomfort. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks in advance!
 
I had the same issue due to my bipap mask. It was the gel nasal mask. I switched to the ResMed Mirage Liberty which uses nose pillows and no more problems.
 
Yep same with my mom. The nasal pillow Liberty mask cleared it right up.
She still uses the other mask for showers as it is easier to hold up to her face without the head straps. The nasal pillows took some getting used to. They come in S-M-L so make sure to get the ones that fit.
 
Thanks everyone! I'm going to call the RT on Monday and see what other masks they may have, and if not, look into purchasing another. The nasal pillow my dad first tried - he hated. He said it would dry him out....do you find that to be the case with this particular mask?
