Fisher & Paykel Healthcare releases new OSA Full Face Mask


F&P Vitera
F&P Vitera is a full face mask featuring a combination of unique technologies designed to prioritise patient comfort. Key features include an adaptable seal, RollFit™ XT, which rolls back and forth on a patient’s nose to provide freedom of movement and reduce pressure. The seal thickness has also been designed to allow for high levels of stability and durability.
 
The mask incorporates new VentiCool™ technology in the headgear. This custom made fabric helps to dissipate heat and moisture, providing a comfortable patient experience. Together with other new design features such as headgear clips, stability bar, grip tabs and VisiBlue™ highlights, Vitera is an exciting addition to the popular F&P range of OSA masks. 
 
“Vitera is our next generation of mask seal,” said Managing Director and CEO, Lewis Gradon. “Our unique RollFit system has been re-designed and improved to create a seal that performs very well and provides a high level of patient comfort. We know that comfort is one of the key reasons people discontinue their OSA therapy, so creating a mask that puts patient comfort first and foremost has been central to our design thinking with Vitera.”
 
Vitera will initially be available in Australia in May followed shortly by Canada, New Zealand and Europe. It will be available in other regions, including the United States, on receipt of relevant regulatory clearances.
