Product launches: ResMed, Sunrise Medical, HME Home Health 

ResMed has launched the AirFit F40, an ultra-compact, full-face mask, in the United States. The mask is ideal for people who sleep on their side, are claustrophobic, and want the stability and seal of a universal fit mask in a minimalist design. In a ResMed clinical study, 88% of patients rated AirFit F40's mask cushion as soft and comfortable and 100% found AirFit F40 easy to use. "Most users prefer smaller and more streamlined masks, but traditional under-the-nose full-face masks can be challenging to fit properly, maintain a seal, and handle higher pressures,” said Justin Leong, ResMed chief product officer. “Our new AirFit F40 addresses this problem by offering the best of both worlds: an ultra-compact full-face mask with the high seal performance of an over-the-nose mask – bridging the gap between compactness and effectiveness in full-face masks.” A key feature of the AirFit F40 is the AdaptiSeal cushion, a 100% soft silicone cushion designed to maintain a facial seal, even when moving around during sleep.

Sunrise Medical has launched the QUICKIE Q50 R Carbon, QUICKIE’s lightest folding power wheelchair with a transport weight of only 32 pounds. Features of the wheelchair include carbon fiber frame, magnesium wheels and motors, breathable upholstery, 15-mile battery and five accent colors. “The Q50 R Carbon is ideal for so many people who want to be more independent and travel further,” says Jeff Rogers, Director of Power Product Management at Sunrise Medical. “This chair is a great alternative to a scooter as it is easier to transport, more maneuverable, and simpler to stow. It is also a great second chair for some manual chair riders that would like the power to go further and some power chair riders that want a chair that is easier for travel.” FMI: https://www.sunrisemedical.com/power-wheelchairs/quickie/folding-power-wheelchairs/q50-r-carbon.
