- Why might I prefer a nasal prong device?
-
Nasal prong masks are similar to nasal pillow masks, however the prong will rest deeper inside the nostril and inflate slightly against the walls of the nostril to seal with pressure. This is different from a nasal pillow mask which creates a seal by resting against the nostril opening.
The use of heated humidification is highly recommended to prevent dryness which may occur when using a nasal prong or nasal pillow device.
