A nasal interface device is configured to be positioned about a user's nose. The nasal interface device includes an air supply interface including first and second attachment surfaces, a bendable metallic member including a bridge portion between first and second ends, an adhesive secured to an underside of the bendable metallic member, a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The bridge portion compresses downward over the nasal bone of the bridge of the user's nose and the bendable metallic member compresses downward toward the first and second sides of the user's nose during use. The first and second elastic members are adjustable in position on the bendable metallic member and on the air supply interface body. The first and second elastic members are pulled taut to form a seal where the air supply interface body meets the user's nose.

A nasal assembly for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a frame having an integrally formed first connector portion. A nozzle assembly includes a gusset or base portion and a pair of nozzles. At least one inlet conduit is structured to deliver breathable gas into the frame and nozzle assembly for breathing by the patient. A pair of second connector portions are removably and rotatably connected to respective first connector portions of the frame and are in communication with respective inlet conduits, e.g., directly or via angle connectors. A headgear assembly is removably connected to the pair of second connector portions and/or the angle connectors so as to maintain the frame and the nozzle assembly in a desired adjusted position on the patient's face.

A facemask configured to be used by multiple sized/shaped heads can include a primary, a secondary and a tertiary seal. In some embodiments, the primary seal is contact with the nose and cheek regions; the secondary seal is in contact with the chin region; and the tertiary seal is in contact with the cheek and chin regions. In some embodiments, the tertiary seal extends inwardly and outwardly when applied to the face. In some embodiments, the mask includes test scissors.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a device, system and method for providing high flow therapy interfaces for use in the treatment of respiratory conditions and in assisted respirations. A nasal cannula for delivery of respiratory gases includes at least one nasal insert and at least one flange coupled to the at least one nasal insert where the at least one flange extends in a radial direction from the at least one nasal insert is provided. In another aspect of the embodiment, the at least one flange is adapted to fit within the nostril of a patient. In another aspect of the embodiment, the at least one flange is a lobulated flange.

A nozzle assembly includes a gusset or base portion and a pair of nozzles. At least one inlet conduit is structured to deliver breathable gas into the frame and nozzle assembly for breathing by the patient. A pair of second connector portions are removably and rotatably connected to respective first connector portions of the frame and are in communication with respective inlet conduits, e.g., directly or via angle connectors. A headgear assembly is removably connected to the pair of second connector portions and/or the angle connectors so as to maintain the frame and the nozzle assembly in a desired adjusted position on the patient's face.

The present disclosure relates to a mask assembly system that has an adjustable headgear system with an inflatable cushion connected to the positive air pressure supply for conforming to a user's face.

A subnasal sealing cushion for a patient interface device includes a cushion member having a front side and a rear side, the rear side being structured to face a face of the user responsive to the patient interface device being donned, the cushion member including: a support portion having an outer wall and a support structure coupled to the outer wall and extending longitudinally along a first direction extending from the front side to the rear side, and a sealing flap portion coupled a nasal shelf portion, the nasal shelf portion defining a nasal orifice and being structured to contact a bottom of a nose of the user to create a seal therewith responsive to the patient interface device being donned by the user, wherein the support structure is positioned under and spaced from a bottom of the nasal shelf portion.

A respiratory assembly is provided. The assembly includes at least one post having a nasal engaging portion on about a first end thereof for delivering treatment gases to the nasal cavity of a patient. A pair of tubes capable of receiving gas from a hose or fluid source are selectively engaged with the pair of posts for delivering treatment gases from the inlet through the receptacle and into the nasal cavity of the patient. A splitter may be positioned between the hose or fluid source and the pair of tubes. Ball and socket joints may provide enhanced flexibility of the assembly while in use.

A cushion member (2) is for a patient interface device. The cushion member includes a body portion (4) having a first end (6) and a second end (8) disposed opposite the first end, the body portion defining a passage (5) therethrough, and a support portion (10) extending from the second end into the passage. The support portion includes a first portion (12) and a second portion (14) disposed on or in the first portion. The support portion is movable from a first configuration to a second configuration responsive to a change in environment.

A method for treating a breathing condition includes providing a face strip having an adhesive layer and a mesh layer disposed on the adhesive layer and applying the adhesive layer to a mouth of a patient diagnosed with a breathing condition including at least one of a dry mouth, a sore throat, nasal congestion, or hypoxia. The method further includes covering the patient's mouth with the face strip and providing resistance from the face strip at the patient's mouth, and increasing nasal respiration with the face strip. The face strip reduces or prevents the incidence of the breathing condition.
