Fisher & Paykel Nova Micro Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask with Headgear
The Fisher & Paykel Nova Micro is the smallest and lightest mask in the Fisher & Paykel range, weighing under 40 grams including headgear and short tube. Designed around the philosophy of less is best, the Nova Micro delivers effective CPAP and bilevel therapy through soft MicroPillows cushions that nestle gently inside the nostrils and inflate during therapy to conform to the individual contours of the nose, providing a secure seal with minimal contact and virtually no pressure on the face. Laser-drilled diffuser vents operate at approximately 21 dB for one of the quietest nasal pillow masks available. A 360-degree swivel elbow eliminates tubing drag, and the simple three-part design of cushion, frame and headgear makes daily disassembly and cleaning straightforward. A particularly good choice for patients who experience claustrophobia, prefer minimal facial contact, wear glasses, or sleep predominantly on their side. Available in Small, Medium and Large cushion sizes with one-size-fits-all headgear.
Key Features
- MicroPillows cushion - ultra-soft silicone pillows nestle gently inside the nostrils and inflate to conform to the unique contours of the nose; designed to be worn looser than conventional nasal pillows, allowing the inflated cushion to do the sealing work with minimal pressure or irritation
- Smallest and lightest Fisher & Paykel mask - under 40 grams (1.4 oz) including headgear and short tube; minimal contact reduces facial marks
- Laser-drilled diffuser vents - directs exhalation quietly away from the mask and bed partner; approximately 21 dB
- 360-degree swivel elbow - eliminates CPAP tubing drag and accommodates position changes throughout the night
- One-size-fits-all headgear - dual-sided Velcro adjustment tabs located towards the front for easy, intuitive adjustment; split-tail strap at the rear of the head for secure positioning
- Three-part design - separates into cushion, frame and headgear only; frame, tube and swivel are permanently integrated and are not intended for disassembly, reducing cleaning complexity
