A CPAP mask is a device that is worn over the nose and/or mouth to deliver compressed air to help keep the airway open during sleep. The main parts of the CPAP mask are:

Headgear: This is the strap or straps that go around the head to hold the mask in place.

Mask frame: This is the part of the mask that holds the pillow or pad in place.

Silicone or cushion: The part of the mask that comes into contact with the face and forms a seal to prevent air leaks.

Swivel: Connects the mask to the air tube from the CPAP machine.

Ventilation: This allows exhaled air to exit the mask.

Elbow: Connects the mask to the tube and also houses the exhalation port.

Quick release: This allows you to quickly and easily remove the mask from the tubing without disturbing your sleep.

Some masks may have attachments such as forehead pads or chin straps that help hold the mask in place and reduce air leaks.
