The resuscitation mask range by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare includes masks of 35mm and 42 mm diameter, which are amongst the smallest masks currently available on the market.
Research shows that 35-millimeter-diameter masks are most suitable for infants younger than 29 weeks’ gestational age, while masks with a 42-millimeter diameter are recommended for infants between 27 and 33 weeks’ gestational age.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare’s resuscitation masks can be used with a self-inflating bag, a flow-inflating bag or a T-piece circuit. The masks are designed to be soft and pliable, with a transparent surface that allows breath condensate to be observed.
