Puritan Bennett Breeze SleepGear Nasal Pillow Shell and Exhaust Vent

Breaks regularly

Harold G, KS – April 11, 2012

"I have used the Breeze system since it first came on the market, and this piece has broken on every single unit I've had. After thinking long and hard about Puritan Bennett's design, I've decided that this may be a safety feature designed to snap if too much force is applied. Better to break plastic than your nose or upper teeth. Just a thought.

In any case, they will break over time simply due to normal flexing during use. Usually after 1 to 2 years of careful wear. Annoying, but I like the Breeze system so much, I put up with it.

In any case, having the part available is great, however, the price for a new mask at CPAP.com is roughly $20 more, and by the time this piece wears out, the rest of the mask is often getting a little dodgy as well."

"Has a tendency to break about once every couple years where it connects to the headgear, but overall function is great."

Nasal pillow shell

Paul S, IL – August 06, 2011

"The product I received was in excellent condition but over the years that I have used the Breeze I have felt there is a major design flaw in the thickness of the material at the thin section which attaches to the headpiece and the swivel portion. I have yet to have a nasal pillow shell last motre than six months without it breaking at this transition. Yes, I am cautious about putting any stress on the shell when I remove my headgear."

"Excellent for sleeping on back or side. Good selection of pillows. Comfortable & hoses totally out of the way. Occasionally breaks at adjustment screw and at the connection to the headgear, but benefits outweigh this issue."

Make unbreakable!

Phillip V, OR – October 30, 2010

"The product is great except for one major flaw. If they used plastic that was unbreakable it would be a vast improvement! I have already bought 3 of these due to breakage!"
