About Niv Nonvented Full Face Mask

on-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the delivery of oxygen (ventilation support) via a face mask and therefore eliminating the need of an endotracheal airway.[1] NIV achieves comparative physiological benefits to conventional mechanical ventilation by reducing the work of breathing and improving gas exchange.[2]

The intervention is recognised as an effective treatment for respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and other respiratory conditions without complications such as respiratory muscle weakness, upper airway trauma, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and sinusitis.[13]

NIV works by creating a positive airway pressure - the pressure outside the lungs being greater than the pressure inside of the lungs. This causes air to be forced into the lungs (down the pressure gradient), lessening the respiratory effort and reducing the work of breathing[4]. It also helps to keep the chest and lungs expanded by increasing the functional residual capacity (the amount of air remaining in the lungs after expiration) after a normal (tidal) expiration; this is the air available in the alveoli available for gaseous exchange[5]. There are two types of NIV non-invasive positive-pressure (NIPPV) and Negative-Pressure Ventilation (NPV).

Optimal Mask Design for Adult Respiratory Support

Engineered to fit most adult faces, the Niv Nonvented Full Face Mask features soft silicone cushioning for an effective seal and high breathability. Its universal interface ensures compatibility with a wide range of ventilators, making it ideal for hospitals, ICUs, emergencies, and homecare environments. The mask's clear design also allows easy patient assessment and real-time monitoring during therapy.

Reliable Hygiene and Maintenance

This full face mask is constructed from medical-grade silicone and polycarbonate, designed for repeated use. Easily disassembled, it is hand-washable and supports sterilization through autoclaving or chemical disinfection, promoting superior hygiene in clinical and homecare settings. The robust material ensures lasting performance throughout its 3-5 year shelf life.

User-Centric Comfort and Safety Features

Featuring an adjustable and washable headgear, the mask ensures both comfort and a secure fit for adults. Its non-vented design, with no exhalation valve, is compatible with ventilators equipped with appropriate exhalation systems. Latex-free materials reduce allergic response risks, while the lightweight structure minimizes user fatigue during prolonged therapy sessions.

FAQ's of Niv Nonvented Full Face Mask:

Q: How do I clean and maintain the Niv Nonvented Full Face Mask?

A: The mask can be hand washed and is also suitable for sterilization via autoclaving or chemical disinfection. Ensure the mask is fully disassembled before cleaning, allow all parts to air dry thoroughly before re-use, and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Q: What ventilators is this full face mask compatible with?

A: This mask features a universal design with a standard 22mm connector, making it compatible with most CPAP, BiPAP, and non-invasive ventilators commonly used in hospitals, ICUs, emergency care, and homecare.

Q: When should I use a non-vented full face mask?

A: Non-vented full face masks are intended for use with ventilators that have a separate exhalation system or when inline exhalation valves are used, especially in hospital, ICU, emergency, or at-home respiratory support scenarios.

Q: Where is this mask best applied in a healthcare setting?

A: The mask is suitable for use in multiple settings including hospitals, intensive care units, emergency departments, and homecare environments. Its design facilitates reliable non-invasive ventilation for adult patients.

Q: What are the benefits of the soft silicone cushion on this mask?

A: The soft silicone cushion provides an optimal seal, high breathability, and enhanced comfort, reducing pressure sores or leaks during extended therapy sessions.

Q: Is the adjustable headgear included and washable?

A: Yes, the mask comes with an included headgear that is fully adjustable for a secure fit and can be washed following standard cleaning protocols.

Q: Does the mask contain latex or support anti-asphyxia features?

A: The mask is entirely latex-free, making it suitable for patients with latex allergies. It is also compatible with anti-asphyxia valves for additional patient safety if required.
