An air delivery conduit includes first and second conduit portions that cooperate to form the conduit, each conduit portion including an inner layer of a film laminate that forms an interior surface of the conduit and an outer layer of a textile that forms an exterior surface of the conduit.

A veterinary subject intranasal administration device includes a first support member portion including a septum interface portion sized for insertion into a nasal passage of the veterinary subject; an actuation mechanism connected to the first support member portion; and a fluid conduit having a distal end opposite a supported end, the distal end sized for insertion into the nasal passage of the veterinary subject, the fluid conduit being flexible and configured to receive fluid from a fluid source and discharge the fluid through the distal end into the nasal passage, the distal end of the fluid conduit being unsupported and movable relative to the septum interface portion.

An augmented reality apparatus for facilitating a patient interface device fitting process includes a device or system for providing a real-time image of the patient, and a processor apparatus structured to: (i) store a plurality of augmented reality component data files, each of the augmented reality component data files relating to either a structure or an aspect of one or more particular patient interface devices or a problem that may be encountered in the fitting process, and (ii) cause an augmented real-time image to be created and transmitted by the augmented reality apparatus by augmenting the real-time image using at least one of the augmented reality component data files.

A mask ventilation assist device that is attached to a mask to aid in ventilating a patient. Generally, the device comprises an opening that fits over the universal ventilation port of a mask, a cavity that compatibly mates with the mask, and one or more grips that permit a practitioner to apply downward force to the mask via the device. The device may comprise various shapes, sizes, configurations, and features depending on the type of mask on which the device will be deployed.

Disclosed is ventilator mask comprising an upper part of an elastic material and a mask body, wherein the upper part of the mask is joined with the mask body of the ventilator mask by a mask connection region, wherein a wall of the upper part of the mask bounds at least in certain regions of the wall a cavity which is filled with a filler at least in certain regions of the cavity and the cavity is formed at least in certain regions of the cavity along the periphery of the upper part of the mask.

Aspects of the present technology comprise a positioning and stabilising structure to hold a seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a head of a patient. The seal-forming structure may be constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patients face surrounding an entrance to the patients airways for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure of at least 4 cmH2O with respect to ambient air pressure throughout the patients respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise a front hoop arranged to contact, in use, at least a region of the patients head superior to an otobasion superior of the patients head and a rear strap. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise an adjustment mechanism for adjustment of the front hoop and the rear strap relative to the patients head, the adjustment mechanism being arranged in a single operation to adjust both the front hoop and rear strap to enable the positioning and stabilising structure to fit different size heads.

An interface for positive pressure therapy includes a mask assembly and a headgear assembly. The mask assembly comprises a mask seal that is adapted to underlie the nose. The mask seal extends up the lateral sides of the nose. The mask seal has a primary seal below the nose and a secondary seal alongside the nose.

The present invention relates to a patient-contacting element (10) or a patient interface (12) including such a patient-contacting element (10) wherein the required minimum pressure for sealing may be realized for all different values of CPAP pressure. In particular, the present invention relates to a patient-contacting element (10) for a patient interface (12) for delivering a flow of gas to a user (20), said patient-contacting element (10) being configured to provide a substantially air-tight seal with the user's skin during use and comprises an inlet (14) for receiving at least part of the flow of gas (40), at least one gas-permeable element (16) that is disposed within the patient-contacting element (10) and arranged in fluidic communication with the inlet (14), and a first layer (18) of an air-tight material that is arranged between the at least one gas-permeable element (16) and an inner space (52) of the patient-contacting element (10) for receiving a nose and/or a mouth of the user (50), wherein the air-tight material has at least one opening (20) therein.

A nasal dilation device and method of use for depressing targeted areas of cheek tissue providing for enhanced inhalation and exhalation via dilation of nasal passageways away from the targeted areas. The device may be used to enhance respiration during a variety of activities, and is especially beneficial during the use of positive airway pressure (PAP) type medical devices. The device may include pads adapted to engage target areas of a user's cheek and to maintain cheek tissue against a bone surface during inhalation and exhalation. The device includes a support element coupled to the pads to maintain the pads at the targeted areas during use.

A respiratory mask body having a nose region including a seal and a support extension is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the mask body has a nose region including a support extension which extends in a direction away from the seal and is configured to contact a user's nose at a position beyond the seal.
