This is a low pressure mask seal. Tight fitting is unnecessary in order to achieve a seal. Overtightening of the headstrap is often a response to poor mask fitting and can lead to pressure sores and patient injury. The unique double seal offers a comfortable fit whilst applying minimal skin pressure.
