Generic Full-Face CPAP Mask (Large) is a standard full-face interface covering both the nose and mouth, designed for patients who breathe through their mouth during PAP therapy or who require the security of a full-face seal. The large size accommodates patients with broader facial dimensions and is adjustable via headgear straps for a customized fit.

Full-face masks are an appropriate interface choice for patients with nasal congestion, mouth breathing habits, or higher prescribed pressures. OxyCare supplies CPAP masks in all styles and sizes, and can assist with mask fitting during equipment setup.
