ResMed 61291 Mirage Quattro Replacement Nasal Cushion & Clip Small

• Model: 61291
• Size: Small

The Mirage Quattro Small Cushion & Clip (61291) is a replacement part designed for ResMed’s Mirage Quattro full face mask. The cushion is dual‑walled and built with Spring‑Air technology, which means that it has an inner and outer air chamber. This design helps the seal adapt dynamically to facial movements (turning, sleeping on the side, jaw motion) while aiming to keep pressure points lower. The cushion clip provides mechanical support, attaching the cushion securely to the mask frame and helping maintain alignment and consistent seal performance. The silicone material is soft against the skin and designed to conform to facial contours, while the clip being PBT polymer keeps it lightweight and durable.

Because the cushion and clip must match the mask frame size exactly, using the Small cushion with a Small frame ensures marginal fit without excess gap or discomfort. A cushion that is too small for the frame will leak or put pressure improperly; one that is too big won’t seat properly and could also leak or slide. The Mirage Quattro’s design also includes a forehead support and forehead height / angle setting (for mask variants) which works with the cushion to reduce leaks. The clip helps lock the cushion to the frame so that when the mask is removed or adjusted, the cushion stays firmly in place. Users typically replace the cushion every few months as it gradually loses elasticity, becomes less able to seal, or shows wear.

In terms of usability, the 61291 cushion & clip offers several benefits: a more comfortable seal for full face mask users, better adaptability when sleeping positions shift, and easier maintenance (replacement of cushion is simpler than having to replace full mask). However, there are trade‑offs. Because it’s a full face cushion, there’s more facial coverage, which can sometimes mean more contact and potential for red marks or discomfort if not fitted properly. Also, replacement supplies for Mirage Quattro have become less common (some reports of discontinued status), so parts availability and compatibility need attention. Finally, proper cleaning is key — silicone cushions must be cleaned frequently (per manufacturer instructions) to keep them soft and maintain seal; the clip and seal surfaces must be inspected for tears, warping, or deformation which can degrade performance.
