Benefits of Pico CPAP Mask

• All sizes of Pico cushions fit the single size Pico frame
• Small, light and comfortable and simple-to-use

• Headgear fits more than 98% of patients
• Features a low-profile frame which supports a nasal cushion covering just enough to provide an effective seal
• With its slim frame and unique forehead connection, the only adjustments to the Pico are made at the four points of the headgear
