I am having a allergic reaction to my salter lab soft cannula. The top of my lip under my nose has broken out badly and I found this online (Everest Silicone Nasal Cannula) and I am hoping that someone on these forums have herd or tried them, so that they might be able to tell me if they work or not. Thank you.

CrazyRed, Welcome to the group.
It appears that you may be allergic to the PTFE, of which that many of the Cannulas are made.
That is not that rare.
While I do not use it, the Everest is supposed to be made of only silicone and was designed specifically to deal
with the allergic reaction issues. I hope that it solves your problem.

 & welcome!
I wear salt air canulas but they sure aren't soft! (i like the nose peice that is curved the straight nose peices cause me sores in my nose)
My 02 provider has a soft canula that i use in the winter when i have to be outside, but I can't find a brand name on them (they just say RX).
They have a light green line & then the soft part that goes on face....(i also can't find on either kind what the material is used in making them.)
I have not had a problem with either allergy wise, but i found in all of them that if nose peice is straight they cause me sores in my nose.
I looked up the website for the Everest ones that you mention & there is a choice of "straight" or "curved" nose peice; which is nice for what ever your preference is.
good luck!
