A THERAPY SYSTEM FOR RESPIRATORY-RELATED DISORDERS, AND PATIENT INTERFACE AND HEADGEAR FOR USE IN SAME

The present technology relates to a patient interface for delivery of a flow of pressurised air to an entrance of a patient's airways, the patient interface comprising a mask with a seal-forming structure and one or more positioning and stabilising structures configured to provide a force to hold the mask in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head in use. The mask and one or more of the positioning and stabilising structures includes a connection port to receive an end of the air circuit. The pressurised air is delivered from the air circuit to the seal-forming structure. In use, the patient connects the air circuit to the connection port of choice, depending on whether they prefer the patient interface to be arranged such that the end of the air circuit is superior to the patient's otobasion superior or inferior to the patient's otobasion superior.

HARNESS WITH EYEGLASS REGION
20220379062 · 2022-12-01 ·

A harness for a patient interface which comprises, at least in some regions, an eyeglass tunnel which is configured and designed to at least partially receive at least one eyeglass arm.

RE-USABLE ELASTOMERIC RESPIRATOR AND VENTILATOR WITH FILTER INSERTS AND PORTS
20220379145 · 2022-12-01 ·

A reusable, elastomeric respirator and ventilator, with filter inserts, including a mask body having a pliant facial interface on the interior of the mask body, and two apertures centrally positioned on the front face of the mask body. Two interchangeable plugs or ports are provided to be received within and seal the apertures, deliver oxygen into the mask, or deliver liquids to a wearer of the mask. On opposing sides of the mask body are air filter housings which support an air filter, each air filter housing including a base support structure affixed to the mask body and a top securing structure removably secured to the base support structure. One or more straps are affixed to the mask body to secure the mask body about a wearer's head.

Patient interface device with auto-adjusting cushion
11511065 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A patient interface device includes a frame member and a cushion having a main body, a sealing portion, and first and second posts extending from the main body. The frame member defines a first orifice and a second orifice. The first post of the cushion is rotatably received within the first orifice and the second post is rotatably received within the second orifice in a manner that permits the cushion to rotate relative to the frame member.

Head harness for positioning a patient interface

Disclosed is a set of holding arrangements for a head harness in the region of a patient interface. The set comprises at least two holding arrangements which are distinguishable by identification markings and/or codings and are unambiguously assignable.

Respiratory assembly
11511066 · 2022-11-29 · ·

A respiratory assembly is provided. The assembly includes a base engaged with at least one connector and in fluid communication with a hose or fluid source for allowing the gaseous flowthrough between the at least one connector, the base and the hose or fluid source. The assembly further includes a pair of sockets engaged with the at least one connector, and a pair of posts, each post selectively engageable with at least one of the pair of sockets. Each post includes a flange that defines an opening therethrough, the openings in fluid communication with each corresponding socket of the pair of sockets. Each post further includes an adhesive adhered to each flange and configured for sealably engaging a patient's nare.

NASAL CANNULA AND SECUREMENT SYSTEM

A patient interface for respiratory therapy includes a nasal interface having nasal prongs configured to contact nares of the user and form a seal. The patient interface also includes a securement portion having a pair of facial pads, each of the facial pads configured to engage the face of a user on opposing sides of the nasal interface. The facial pads are coupled to the bridging portions configured to urge the nasal interface toward the user's face to create or maintain sealing engagement between the nasal interface and the user's face. In some configurations, the securement portion and the nasal interface are detachably coupled to each other.

OXYGEN MASK HAVING BITE BLOCK AND MONITORING
20220370746 · 2022-11-24 ·

An oxygen mask may include a convex shell having an upper portion and a lower portion and defining a chamber, a rim at least partially around the chamber, a nasal access port in the upper portion, and an oral access port in the lower portion. The nasal access port that is penetratable and/or puncturable to provide access to the chamber, and the oral access port may include a bite block defining a lumen and a valve in the lumen. The oxygen mask may include an inlet into the chamber, an outlet from the chamber, and a sampling port in communication with the chamber. The oxygen mask may include at least one fold or crease configured to allow the bite block to tilt relative to the horizontal axis and/or to translate along the vertical axis.

Headgear with covered edge

A headgear assembly includes a strap of a first flexible material with an elongate edge, and a second flexible material folded around and running along the elongate edge. The second flexible material may be an elastic material. The second flexible material may also cover an intersection or joint in the first flexible material such that the first flexible material may be made from two flexible materials layered together or joined end to end.

Headgear tubing for a patient interface

A patient interface for treating sleep disorder breathing includes a textile tube that also provides support for the seal forming structure. The textile tube includes an inner and outer layer that are joined along seams to form an air chamber or passageway. The textile tube can be pre-shaped so that the textile tube resiliently returns to a pre-determined shape prior to the introduction of pressurized air.
