CPAP mask This is the world's first full-face CPAP mask to make use of airflow through the frame and the top of the head. This minimizes the size of the mask at the front of the face and allows the user to sleep in any position and move freely. With more of the face exposed, the mask also feels 'less medical'. Simplified to the bare minimum, it is very small and streamlined. The under-nose cradle cushion offers the same comfort and performance as an over-nose full-face cushion in a much-reduced size. A soft, flexible silicone frame and cushion reduces irritation, making this redesigned mask more comfortable and easy to use than its predecessor.

Colored, they hint towards a seamless image across the lid and base, however these do not actually line-up; a 'tease' that brings the sense of unease the engravings evoke to the very experience of handling the box.
