Bella Loops - Around the Ear
Finally, a headgear option that does not cross over the back of the head disturbing rest and hair. The very lightweight silicone Bella loops go around the ears to secure the mask in place. Each 'around the ear' loop comes with a set of soft sleeves to cushion contact with the cheeks and face.
Swift FX Bella Headgear - Around the Head
The 'around the head' headgear for the Swift FX Bella is an update to the headgear that was introduced with the Swift FX. It is an incredibly lightweight, soft, silicone-based headgear that rests lightly on the cheeks offering a sense of freedom. It is made of silicone similar to the material used in mask cushions and pillows. A set of Soft Wraps to cushion the headgear against the face is included with the Bella. The updated headgear is compatible with the original Swift FX.
Soft Sleeves and Soft Wraps
ResMed recognizes the importance of comfort and includes a set of wraps for each of the Bella headgear options. The soft fleece material cushions contact with the face and cheeks and helps to prevent the silicone headgears from slipping.
Quiet Operation
The air disperses gently outward and away through exhalation ports located on the frame not on the cushion, dampening audible motor whine and airflow noise. Sound levels have been reduced to only 25 decibels at the mask.
Nasal Pillow Design
The Swift FX nasal pillows are designed with improved support and comfort using dual-wall flaps. Side sleepers will appreciate the cushion's base that is outfitted with an integrated flexible chamber that provides stability. The flexibility accommodates movement and offers a reliable seal.
Fitting is Easy
The Bella Pink comes with Extra Small, Small, and Medium size pillows included in the package. The Bella Gray includes the Small, Medium and Large pillows. Other pillow sizes Swift FX Nasal Pillows are sold separately. All pillow sizes are interchangeable with the mask frame.
The Bella 'around the head' headgear has only 2 points to adjust: A low-profile backstrap and buckle on top. The backstrap is a Lycra-based material with Velcro fasteners. The top buckle is incorporated into the headgear and uses a set of notches for easy adjustment with additional buckle notches that allow users to tighten around smaller heads. The adjustable backstrap can be worn under a pony tail, accommodating a wide range of hair styles.
Lightweight & Travel Friendly
The Swift FX Bella mask's frame is practically invisible and allows for reading or watching TV at bedtime, even with glasses on. The pillow cushion connects smoothly with the rest of the mask and is easy to assemble. The 'lock and key' quick-release tabs secure both styles of silicone headgear straps and allow for easy removal from the frame.
