Systems and Methods for Reforming Wearable Devices
The present disclosure provides for systems and methods for reforming wearable devices. The system may comprise a wearable device. The wearable device may comprise a gasket. The wearable device may comprise a pliable region. The pliable region may comprise a predefined diameter to interface with a plurality of wearable devices. The pliable region may comprise the gasket. The wearable device may comprise a supply device. The wearable device may comprise an attachment mechanism. The wearable device may interface with a reforming device. The reforming device may interface with a scanner. The reforming device may adjust the wearable device based on information received from the scanner. The reforming device may receive information from an external device. The external device may comprise a scanner that sends information to the reforming device.
Facial mask apparatus and method of making
A face mask for extended wear by a user including a customized, contoured facial mask portion constructed and configured to cover and matingly contact a corresponding contoured surface area of a human face, preferably formed by 3D printing methods and materials. The face mask includes strap attachments and at least one strap for securing the customized, contoured facial mask portion to the face.
Facial mask apparatus with removable filter
A face mask for extended wear by a user including a customized, contoured facial mask portion constructed and configured to cover and matingly contact a corresponding contoured surface area of a human face, preferably formed by 3D printing methods and materials. The face mask includes strap attachments and at least one strap for securing the customized, contoured facial mask portion to the face. The face mask includes at least one replaceable air filter for filtering out viral or bacterial pathogens.
Customized sealing member using stock material
A customized sealing member is for a customized mask. The customized mask includes a support member. The customized sealing member is manufactured by the process of generating surface geometry data of a face of a patient, the surface geometry data corresponding to and representing a surface geometry of the face of the patient; providing a directing apparatus shaped according to the surface geometry data, the directing apparatus being structured to receive and direct a stock of material; and inserting the stock of material into the directing apparatus in order to produce the customized sealing member.
MASK SYSTEM WITH SNAP-FIT SHROUD
A shroud for a mask system includes a retaining portion structured to retain a frame, a pair of upper headgear connectors each including an elongated arm and a slot at the free end of the arm adapted to receive a headgear strap, and a pair of lower headgear connectors each adapted to attach to a headgear strap. The retaining portion, the upper headgear connectors, and the lower headgear connectors are integrally formed as a one piece structure.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FITTING DEVICE AND METHOD
A system and method for performing automated respirator mask fit testing are described. An example embodiment is configured to obtain, with one or more processors, at least one three-dimensional facial image of an individual; convert the facial image to numerical data for analysis, the numerical data representative of facial features, facial dimensions, and/or facial locations on the face of the individual; determine, based on the numerical data, a face volume for the individual; and generate a mask fit pass (or fail) indication responsive to the face volume and/or the numerical data satisfying (or not satisfying) respirator model and size specific fit criteria. The principles described herein may also be applied for other personal protective equipment such as industrial head protection, ballistic helmets, eye and face protection, hand protection, and clothing.
FACIAL MASK APPARATUS WITH REMOVABLE FILTER
A face mask for extended wear by a user including a customized, contoured facial mask portion constructed and configured to cover and matingly contact a corresponding contoured surface area of a human face, preferably formed by 3D printing methods and materials. The face mask includes strap attachments and at least one strap for securing the customized, contoured facial mask portion to the face. The face mask includes at least one replaceable air filter for filtering out viral or bacterial pathogens.
PATIENT INTERFACE
A patient interface comprises a support structure and a seal-forming structure. The support structure is arranged to support the sealing portion and is configured to connect to the frame. The sealing portion comprises textile and is attached to the support structure along an outer perimeter of the sealing portion such that in use the sealing portion may be in tension due to reactive stress of the support structure and/or a resilient stretch characteristic of the textile such that the sealing portion exerts a force against the patient's face.
TRACHEOSTOMA DEVICE HOLDER
A tracheostoma device holder for holding a tracheostoma device superimposed of a tracheostoma of a person. The tracheostoma device holder may include a plate and a tracheostoma device fitting. The plate may be configured for attachment over a tracheostoma via a proximal side thereof. The plate may include a through hole. The tracheostoma device fitting may include a through passage arranged superimposed the through hole. The tracheostoma device fitting may extend distally from the plate. The plate may further include a disc of a thermoplastic material and a plate material arranged at least laterally of the disc. The plate material may have a melting point different from a melting point of the disc.
MASK SYSTEM WITH SNAP-FIT SHROUD
A shroud for a mask system includes a retaining portion structured to retain a frame, a pair of upper headgear connectors each including an elongated arm and a slot at the free end of the arm adapted to receive a headgear strap, and a pair of lower headgear connectors each adapted to attach to a headgear strap. The retaining portion, the upper headgear connectors, and the lower headgear connectors are integrally formed as a one piece structure.
