New and Improved! The Fisher & Paykel Opus Mask has been redesigned and is now called the Opus 360 Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask.
The Opus 360 provides an exceptional amount of freedom in your sleep position while still maintaining a comfortable fit and effective seal. Small and quiet, the slim design allows for almost any sleeping position without the mask becoming dislodged. Its innovative 360 degree pivotal ball and socket elbow connection allows for a great deal of overall adjustability.
New improvements, explained in detail below, are the Contoured Mask Frame, Anatomically Shaped Pillows, and a Redesigned Headgear.
Here are the highlights of the Opus 360 Nasal Pillows CPAP Mask.
Quiet and Efficient Exhaust The progressive air diffuser system is very quiet, reducing the amount of noise and draft from the exhaust flow to counteract disturbances to you and your sleeping partner.
Small and Light-weight Light as a feather on your head, the Opus 360 weighs in at just under 2 ounces total weight and its sleek, slim design make it feel like you are almost wearing nothing at all.
New - Anatomically Shaped Pillows These pillows allow for easy and comfortable fitting and a premium seal. The contours in the new shape and design of the pillows ensures even more comfort.
New - Redesigned Headgear Much improved, the new headgear has a Hidden Strap Release for simple one step removal for cleaning and it allows you to take it apart and put it back together without the need to re-adjust the straps.
All Sizes Included The Opus 360 comes with Small, Medium, and Large pillows included, fully assembled and ready to wear, making this a convenient out-of-box solution.
New - Contoured Mask Frame Three dimensional support architecture allows the Contoured Mask Frame to conform naturally to your face which enhances comfort and fit while also providing dependable support. The narrow design permits side-sleeping without the mask being pushed out of place.
Soft-Lip Cushion Providing more in the area of comfort the Silicone Seal is soft on the nose and quite supple where it touches the upper lip. The built-in Soft-Lip Cushion actually conforms to the shape of the upper lip naturally for the utmost in comfort.
Premium Frosted Silicone Seal The seals have a soft, smooth feel and are easy to slide into position while their frosted texture optimizes the mask seal.
Tube Anchoring System You may anchor the tube at the top, side, or leave it free to track. Elegant in design and simplicity, it firmly holds the tube in the desired position and provides stability keeping the mask in place. Alternatively, leave the tube unanchored and the ball and socket joint really comes into play allowing true 360° of freedom.

CPAP.com Comments
Several users who participated in Product Challenge Ten: Opus vs Swift LT, suggested using Mask Strap Pads over the Opus headgear.
The only parts that are interchangeable between the old Original Opus Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask and the new Opus 360 Nasal Pillow CPAP Mask are the actual nasal pillows themselves. The new headgear, tubing and swivel are not interchangeable.
As of December 5th 2008, Fisher and Paykel has made a few improvements to the design of the Opus 360 Nasal Pillow Mask.
Soft foam pads have been added to the mask frame to add better cushioning
Silicone pillows are now designed with a contour shape that keeps the Silicone Seal off the upper lip
Orientation arrows are added to the mask frame to help with mask reassembly
An updated Fitting Guide with simple fitting instructions has been added

"This is by far the best nasal pillow mask that I have found and I have tried many. This is the second one I have purchased. I bought it to go with my travel cpap so I do not have to worry about forgetting it when I pack. I have never been a back sleeper and this mask works great in any position. If I start out on my back and roll to either side I do not have to adjust the mask at all to keep the seal. I have not had any problems with nasal soreness or any other issues with this mask. Better than five stars. Also a great value. Anyone that is tired of a sore nose or tired of having to mess with the fit when changing sleeping postions needs to try this mask."
Weight - Good, Fit - Poor

"Love the light weight and compactness but find it difficult to get the adjustment right so it doesn't leak during the night. Great for travel due to its compact dimensions but not all that good for those that sleep on their side."

"Very comfortable, no leakage, don't take it apart for cleaning, a little confusing to reassemble."
Opus 360

"I have used the Opus 360 nasal pillow mask now for a couple of weeks and it has quickly become my favorite mask. It is light and seals well. It does leave marks but I wil order some covers for the two side straps.
As usual, ordering from CPAP.COM is easy and trouble free. I order one day and have the order the next day."
Opus 360

(2 out of 5) by Tim O, SANTA CLARA, CA
"I am a long time sufferer of sleep apnea (diagnosed 19 years ago). There has been much progress over the years in machines. Unfortunately I have yet to find the perfect mask or nose pillow for me. The problem I seem to encounter is most nose pillows (my preference) are designed for users at the lower end of the pressure spectrum (I am at 19 and 14 on a Bipap machine). Because of these numbers I had to pull the Opus 360 headgear (which barely fit my head) very tight making continuous sleep impossible. It also cut into my ears because it fit so poorly. With some design changes this could be a good mask but as it is I couldn't recomend it to anyone."
