The AirFit™ F20 Full Face CPAP Mask with Headgear has a similar shape to the AirFit F10™ Full Face Mask which is set low beneath the eyes. The open visibility aspect of the design allows users to read and watch TV before falling asleep. To increase the comfort of the mask, padding was added to the mask frame and headgear to increase wearability. The InfinitySeal™ full face cushion starts at the bridge of the nose and falls below the mouth to provide CPAP therapy to the nose and mouth.

Open Visibility Mask Design
The AirFit™ 20 Full Face mask covers the nose and mouth without the aid of a forehead support. Similar to wings, the frame spreads low beneath the eyes and rises high above the ears. At the ears, the mask frame connects to headgear which covers the circumference of the head with minimal fabric. This design allows the mask and headgear to remain steady without an obstructive support bar. Those who are claustrophobic or enjoy reading and watching TV before falling asleep may enjoy the open range of visibility.
InfinitySeal™ Full Face Cushion
The InfinitySeal™ Full Face cushion is a newly designed seal intended for various pressures in order to strengthen the seal throughout CPAP therapy. This cushion pairs with the newly designed frame which is intended to fit a number of different face types and structures. Together, the InfinitySeal™ and frame work together to help improve CPAP results.
Padded Headgear with Magnetic Clips
The headgear extends above the ears, over the crown of the head, and downward toward to the base of head. The padded headgear glides along the circumference of the head, leaving a portion of the head untouched. The padding was built into the design to offer additional comfort.
Magnetic headgear clips connect the bottom headgear straps to the base of the cushion. Easily lift the clip from its magnetic attachment to disengage the mask from your face without destroying the fit.
Ensure the headgear and frame is kept at least 2" (50 mm) away from any active medical implant (eg, pacemaker or defibrillator) to avoid possible effects from localized magnetic fields. The magnetic field strength is less than 400 mT. Contraindications Use of masks with magnetic components is contraindicated in patients with the following pre-existing conditions: • a metallic hemostatic clip implanted in your head to repair an aneurysm • metallic splinters in one or both eyes following a penetrating eye injury.

Quick Release Elbow with Air Diffuser
The AirFit™ 20 elbow extends from a circular, white attachment which connects to the opening in the middle of the InfinitySeal™ cushion. The round component is lined by many, tiny holes which diffuse the sound of the air as it is being released from the mask. This aspect of the design is anticipated to help quiet the CPAP therapy making it more enjoyable for the user and their bed partner.
The elbow can be removed from the CPAP hose quickly and efficiently. If you get up in the middle of the night, slide the CPAP hose from the base of the elbow. This feature allows the user to quickly stop and start therapy without the need to disrupt the mask.
Multiple Headgear Sizes Available
The AirFit™ F20 Full Face Mask was cut in three different headgear sizes to ensure an optimal fit for the user. Only the Standard size is included with the purchase of this mask and headgear unit. The other sizes available for purchase are: Small and Large. Choose the best for your face structure and cushion size.
