BMC F5A Full Face CPAP Mask
The BMC F5A is a forehead-frame-free full face CPAP mask covering both nose and mouth, designed for patients prescribed full face CPAP or bilevel therapy. The elimination of the forehead support frame provides a clear, unobstructed field of vision and reduces facial contact to a minimum. The single-layer silicone cushion uses BMC's Flexi Groove AutoFit design — a groove on the cushion automatically adapts to the nose bridge, maintaining a low-leak seal without requiring precise fitting on each application. A Quick-Click frame attachment allows the mask to be reassembled after cleaning in seconds, and easy-release headgear clips enable rapid mask removal and refitting without losing the adjusted fit. A single universal frame accommodates all three cushion sizes, simplifying replacement. Compatible with any standard CPAP, APAP or bilevel machine via a 22mm connection. Available in Small, Medium and Large.
