Full-face mask is lightest in the market

BALTIMORE – ResMed, an innovator and pioneer in developing products for the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory conditions, today announced the launch of the Quattro Air full face mask. This ground-breaking new mask for use with positive airway pressure therapy will begin shipping on June 7.

ResMed made the announcement at SLEEP 2013, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, held here this week.

"ResMed invested more than $100 million in research and development last year and it's evidenced by the innovation in our products that always put the patient first," said Jon Yerbury , ResMed's vice president, sleep-disordered breathing.

The Quattro Air mask is the lightest full face mask on the market, weighing in at just 3.3 ounces, making it 45 percent lighter than its predecessor and current #1 seller in the U.S., the Mirage Quattro? mask. The Quattro Air is built for comfort and convenience, with only four pieces to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance.
