There is a specific category of CPAP accessory that never gets reviewed, almost never gets restocked proactively, and reliably causes the most disproportionate disruption when it fails: the small plastic clip. In the case of the ResMed AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask — one of the world's most popular and widely prescribed minimal-contact CPAP masks — that clip is the headgear adjustment clip: a small plastic fastener that threads through the split-bands of the P10's elastic headgear and holds the fit at your adjusted tension. One piece. Maybe an inch across. Weighing almost nothing.
When it cracks, breaks, or gets lost during travel, the entire headgear-to-mask adjustment system is compromised. The headgear cannot maintain its tension. The nasal pillows drift from their sealed position. Therapy quality degrades. And you spend a night either sleeping with an air-leaking, poorly-fitting mask or not using the machine at all — while you wait for a replacement clip to arrive. The ResMed AirFit P10 Headgear Clips 10-Pack on Swadesiicart is the solution to this entirely avoidable problem: ten genuine ResMed replacement clips that ensure you are never one lost or broken clip away from a disrupted therapy night.
The ResMed AirFit P10 Headgear Clips 10-Pack, available on Swadesiicart, is a 10-pack of genuine ResMed plastic adjustment clips for the AirFit P10 nasal pillow CPAP mask headgear — the small but essential fasteners that maintain headgear tension and mask positioning throughout the night.
What the Headgear Clips Do and Why They Matter
The AirFit P10 nasal pillow mask is ResMed's minimalist CPAP mask — it sits under the nose rather than over it, uses small silicone pillow inserts that seal inside the nostrils, and is held in place by an extremely lightweight elastic headgear with a split-strap back design. The entire system weighs just 45 grams, creating minimal facial contact and an open field of view. It is the mask of choice for side sleepers, stomach sleepers, claustrophobic CPAP users, and those who find larger masks disruptive to sleep.
The headgear clips are the tension management components of this system. The P10's elastic headgear has split-bands that thread through these small plastic clips. By sliding the clip along the band, the user adjusts the length — and therefore the tension — of the headgear to achieve the snug but comfortable fit that maintains the nasal pillow seal without over-tightening. The clips lock the band at the set position, preventing it from loosening during sleep as the elastic moves.
The Structural Role: Without functioning headgear clips, the P10 headgear cannot maintain its adjusted tension. The split-band slides freely and the mask drifts from its sealed position, causing air leaks and therapy pressure loss. A broken or missing clip is not a minor inconvenience — it is a therapy failure.
When Replacement Clips Are Needed
• Broken clips: The most common failure mode. The plastic clips can crack or snap under repeated flexing — particularly in travel conditions where the mask is packed and unpacked frequently. A cracked clip may hold tension for a few nights before failing completely
• Lost clips during travel: The P10's clips are small enough that they can come loose during packing and get lost in a travel bag, hotel room, or airport security tray. The 10-pack ensures this common travel mishap does not derail therapy
• Clip wear and reduced grip: Over time (typically 6-12 months of daily use), the plastic clips may develop reduced grip on the elastic band, allowing the headgear to slip from its set position during sleep. Replacing worn clips restores the precise fit adjustment the mask was designed for
• Upgrading older P10 headgear: Earlier versions of the P10 headgear used a different adjustment mechanism. Users upgrading their headgear system may need additional clips as part of the transition
• Proactive spare supply: Many experienced CPAP users keep a clip supply on hand the same way they keep spare mask wipes, filters, and cushions — as part of a complete CPAP maintenance kit that prevents therapy disruption from small but essential component failures
The AirFit P10: Why It Is Worth Maintaining Properly
The ResMed AirFit P10 is consistently rated among the highest for patient satisfaction in the nasal pillow CPAP mask category. Its appeal is specific: it is the smallest, lightest, most minimal full-therapy CPAP mask in the ResMed range. Three components total (frame, nasal pillow cushion, headgear). Weighing 45 grams. Sitting completely below and out of the way of the eyes. Producing genuinely quiet exhaled air through ResMed's QuietAir diffused vent technology. For CPAP users who find larger masks claustrophobic, intrusive, or disruptive to sleep, the P10 is often the mask that finally makes therapy sustainable.
The P10 is also one of the key masks compatible with the HumidX waterless humidifier for the ResMed AirMini travel CPAP — making it the preferred mask for AirMini travel users who want both minimum facial contact and the waterless humidification that makes travel therapy comfortable. For these users, maintaining a complete P10 supply inventory — headgear clips alongside the HumidX Standard or Plus cartridges — is the infrastructure of uninterrupted travel therapy.

How to Install the Replacement Clips
INSTALLATION: Thread the top and bottom split-band of the AirFit P10 headgear through the replacement clip's channel opening. Slide the clip to your desired tension position along the band — this sets the headgear length and therefore the mask fit. The clip's grip mechanism holds the band at the set position during sleep. Adjust both clips symmetrically for even tension across the mask. If the headgear has two clips (one on each side), replace both simultaneously to ensure consistent fit.

Frequently Asked Questions About the ResMed AirFit P10 Headgear Clips
Q1. Are these clips the same as the ones that came with my P10 mask?
Yes — these are genuine ResMed OEM headgear clips, identical to the clips included with the original AirFit P10 mask system. Genuine ResMed replacement parts ensure precise fit with the P10 headgear band dimensions and the correct grip mechanism. Third-party replacement clips may not provide the same grip quality or dimensional accuracy, potentially resulting in headgear that slips from the set position during sleep.
Q2. My P10 headgear seems to slip during sleep even with the clips. Is that a clip problem?
Slipping headgear can result from clip failure but is more often a sign of stretched headgear elastic. The P10 headgear strap is made from 80% polyamide and 20% elastane — over 6 months of daily use and weekly washing, the elastic component gradually loses its tension, and the headgear requires increasing tightening to maintain the same seal. If you find yourself setting the clips much tighter than when the headgear was new, and the headgear still slips, the headgear strap itself likely needs replacing rather than just the clips. The recommended headgear replacement schedule is every 6 months, or when you notice you need to overtighten to maintain a seal.
Q3. How many clips does one P10 mask use?
The standard AirFit P10 headgear uses two clips — one on each side of the split-back headgear strap. This means the 10-pack provides 5 complete headgear setups' worth of clips, or 10 individual replacement clips if you lose or break them one at a time. For most users, a 10-pack represents a year or more of proactive clip maintenance, even accounting for occasional losses during travel.
Q4. Do these clips work with the AirFit P10 For Her headgear?
The AirFit P10 For Her uses a slightly smaller, pink headgear designed for smaller head sizes, but the headgear clip mechanism is the same. The replacement clips in this 10-pack are compatible with both the standard AirFit P10 headgear and the AirFit P10 For Her headgear — the clip design is not size-specific to the headgear variant.
Ten Clips. Zero Disrupted Therapy Nights.
The most effective CPAP maintenance strategy is having the right spare parts before you need them. Headgear clips are not the most glamorous CPAP accessory purchase — but they are the one that travellers most frequently wish they had thought to order before their trip, and the one that experienced CPAP users reliably keep in their kit as a matter of course. A broken clip at 11pm before a 6am flight is a preventable problem. Ten clips in the drawer — or the travel bag — is the prevention.
