Silicone CPAP Nasal Mask: How to Customize the Mold & Parts
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) nasal masks are essential for individuals suffering from sleep apnea. These masks must provide a secure yet comfortable fit to ensure effective therapy. Customizing the mold and products for a silicone CPAP nasal mask involves precision engineering, material selection, and advanced manufacturing techniques. This guide explores the step-by-step process of designing, developing, and manufacturing a custom silicone CPAP nasal mask through injection molding. Custom Mold Design for CPAP Nasal Masks 1. Material Selection Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is the preferred material for CPAP nasal masks due to its: Softness and Flexibility: Provides a comfortable fit. Biocompatibility: Meets medical-grade safety standards. Durability: Resistant to wear and tear. Hypoallergenic Properties: Safe for prolonged skin contact. 2. Digital
