Key features
Weighing under 40 grams
Some patients reported it felt like they weren’t even wearing a mask, resulting in a natural sleep experience.
Soft MicroPillows™
The cushion nestles gently within the nostrils and inflates to conform to the patient’s nose.
Easy-adjusting headgear
Fitting is easy with the dual-sided adjustments which enable patients to fine-tune the headgear on each side of the face.
Patients who you may confidently recommend trying the F&P Nova Micro mask
May be suitable for new patients looking for a minimal mask that is small and light as well as experienced PAP mask users wanting a comfortable and high-performance mask.
Physiology: Patients who predominantly breathe through their nose when they sleep.
Preference: May be suitable for patients who want a smaller, lighter mask or those who experience claustrophobia.*
User experience: A small and light mask can result in less contact and weight on the face. Paired with soft MicroPillows, F&P Nova Micro can provide patients with a natural sleep experience. The ability to fine-tune the headgear with dual-sided adjustments also makes the mask easy to adjust.
*Based on the assumed impact of having a free field of vision and minimal contact on the skin
The compact cushion and frame rests close to the face. This provides stability, freedom of movement, and allows patients to sleep in their preferred positions.
100% of trial users rated the overall seal performance as "good" or "very good".3
