1-Pack Westmed #0101 Biflo Nasal Mask with 7' Kink Resistant Tubing

As a result of the virus, I ended up on a temporary (I hope) oxygen concentrator. It came with standard cannula that I could not wear. My nose woudl end up beat up and woudl hurt from it all over. I was so looking for something that need not have to be put into my nose but still provides oxygen that I needed. This product not only does that but is also very soft and flexible--unlike the original cannula with the machine. There are some issues with this, which should be noted, but they didn't deter me from buying more. 1) Since everyone has different face shape and nose size, this will obviously not fit everyone comfortably. I have a very small nose and so this is too big but that also allows for good air circulation and I still got the benefits of the oxygen 2) because the material is so soft and flexible, the tie around the next doesn't stay and slides off. The manufacturer should try a different type of tie there that doesn't slide so easily. 3) I only use the oxygen now for sleeping and if I sleep on my side, this has the tendency to move away from my nose because the neck tie let's it loose. Again, this is associated with the strength of the neck tie--and its slipperiness. 4) it has a strong smell, which gases into one's nose right off... I was wondering if what I inhaled with my extra oxygen was toxic... but the odor cleared I suppose because I got a good night's of sleep and no odor by the morning. I recommend this product for everyone on oxygen concentrator who suffers from the hard PVC edging it's contour into your face and your nose.

I have recently been put on oxygen, and sent home with a nasal cannula. I cannot wear nasal cannulas, as they constantly shoot icy fire into my nostrils and the pain becomes unbearable. Full face masks can't be worn well with glasses, and my husband can't understand what I'm saying unless I lift up the mask. This product is the only one I've found that allows me to function properly and enjoy my life while wearing it. I can talk, eat, and drink with only minor repositioning. The problem is that it has sharp edges that irritate my skin. It is my hope that this company redesigns this with the level of quality and comfort that is put into higher end products, while maintaining the indirect oxygen flow which allows me to breathe without pain.

Normal cannula’s just eat up the inside of my nose, so I decided to try this one. It works great, but I think there is a lot of frustration on HOW to wear it. The maker does not do a very good job of explaining this, but a visit to their site, where they have a couple of people displaying the nose mask, created an “ah hah!” moment for me. The "cup" is not meant to go "over" the nose. Instead, the cup is meant to be UNDER the nose as per the photo. So start out by putting the cup over the nose, then loop the air feeds over your ears, and tighten the knot under the neck. The cup will slowly drop down under the nose, and this is how it stays in place. Quite comfortable!

Although the conception of the item is good, the quality is what I think, terrible. 2 reasons - 1) the slider on the lanyard portion of the item was much too small resulting in - due to wear - heating up from body heat and "melting" with the tube thereby NOT allowing any oxygen to pass through to the nose.canula and 2) though I fully appreciate that the item is fitted for a general sizing rather than to a specific individual, the corners of the mask which rest on the cheeks have a very sharp pointed protuburance. Though the item is cheap enough for purchase, it does not stand up to reasonable use as intended.

I have sinus and allergy so using a regular cannula causes severe nasal dryness and nosebleeds. This is a great alternative that is comfortable and helps reduce the drying out of my nose. Yes it is loose so probably not great if you are walking around for a long period of time but perfect for using while sitting at my desk working most of the day or sleeping at night.

I was looking for something for my husband to give him some relief from the nasal cannula he has to wear 24/7. This item fits the requirements but it will not stay in place. It provides the much needed relief from constant air directly into the nose but it is constantly falling out of position. The clasp used to lock the tubing into place is very weak and does not stay in place. My husband had the idea to a piece of medical tape to secure it to the bridge of his nose and that seems to be working.

Didn’t work for my needs. Will work for daytime use, but awkward and ineffective at night. One end of the tubing where it inserts into mask detached. Was comfortable putting over ears, good flow, just not for overnight in my opinion.

My husband loves this nasal tubing because doesn't get all tangle like all the other he has. Great product
