Ultra-Light Nasal Pillows Improve Users’ Sleep

A new nasal pillows mask for continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) features a venting technology that reduces exhaust noise by 50%.

The ultra-quiet ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillows mask weighs just 45 grams, and has only three parts, including a soft and stable auto-adjusting headgear that holds the mask snugly and comfortably in place, with a split-strap design that offers adjustability and stability while delivering a high level of facial freedom. The mask's key-clip nasal pillows seal on contact, with trampoline action that allows freedom of movement. A new exhaust mesh vent, dubbed QuietAir, diffuses exhaled air with minimal disturbance to patients or their bed partners.


Simple one-click action makes assembling the pillow to the frame and cleaning the AirFit P10 quick and easy. For added convenience to both providers and the patients themselves, the AirFit P10 has color-coded cushion sizing, with small, medium, and large sizes in the standard AirFit P10 system, and extra-small, small, and medium sizes in the AirFit for Her system, which features headgear designed especially for women. The ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillows mask is a product of ResMed (San Diego, CA, USA), and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“The AirFit P10's light weight and ultra-quiet performance also translates directly into better compliance,” said Jon Yerbury, vice president of ResMed's sleep-disordered breathing strategic business unit. “Our internal research has shown that the AirFit P10 provides an average of 40 more minutes of sleep per night than ResMed's current market-leading nasal pillows mask.”

Nasal pillows are a type of CPAP mask consisting of plastic inserts that slip directly into the nostrils. They are an excellent option for claustrophobic patients or those who cannot tolerate having a large mask across the face or blocking the eyes. In addition, they are more suitable for men with facial hair such as large mustaches or beards that may have trouble getting a seal with a standard CPAP mask that fits over the nose or around the mouth.
