New product to help prevent mask leaks called V-Com

New product to help prevent mask leaks called V-Com
I watched a youtube video by Lefty Lanky about this new device from SleepRes called V-Com.
It sounded interesting and is supposed to help prevent leaks and slow down the pressure surges.
Has anyone out there tried this product?
I would like to try it but can't find a source to deliver to Canada.

RE: New product to help prevent mask leaks called V-Com
I caught this after seeing your profile and reading the warnings on their website:
Quote:V-Com™ has not been tested in adaptive servo ventilation and average volume-adjusted pressure support breathing circuits.

There are several warnings about its use with auto titrating models. It looks like it is for static pressure use.

RE: New product to help prevent mask leaks called V-Com
I got the V-Com a couple of days ago, based on LankyLefty's recommendation.  I love it.  So far it greatly reduced my aerophagia and my mouth breathing.  It's been a real game changer for me - I will be using it from now on.  My understanding is that it was developed by a pulmonologist sleep doctor.  I'm in Canada and bought it via
Supplier #10 [DME Link Removed] but I believe they are sold out now.  You might have some luck on Amazon.  Not sure if it should be used with ASV though, I'd check on that if I were you.
