A patient interface includes a positioning and stabilising structure having a knitted headgear strap comprising physical properties and/or characteristics that vary across the headgear strap. The entire headgear strap or portions thereof may be knitted as a single piece of material directly into its final shape. The variations in physical properties and/or characteristics may be provided by different knit structures and/or textile compositions.

A patient interface for delivery of a supply of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways comprising: a cushion member that includes a retaining structure and a seal-forming structure permanently connected to the retaining structure; a frame member attachable to the retaining structure; and a positioning and stabilising structure attachable to the frame member.

A patient interface includes a seal-forming structure, a shell, and an AAV. The shell and the seal-forming structure form at least a portion of a plenum chamber pressurizable to a therapeutic pressure. The shell includes a first port into the plenum chamber, the first port configured to allow air to flow between the plenum chamber and ambient. The shell includes a passageway including a second port into the plenum chamber, the passageway configured to communicate with a flow of air at positive pressure. The AAV is provided to the shell and configured to regulate flow through the first port and the second port to (1) provide a flow path for pressurized air when pressure in the plenum chamber is above a predetermined magnitude and (2) provide a breathable flow path when pressure in the plenum chamber is below the predetermined magnitude or not delivered.

A patient interface comprises a cushion assembly including a textile membrane. The textile membrane includes an air impermeable silicone layer applied to a textile material. The textile material comprises 1) nylon and/or polyester, and 2) elastane. A yarn count of the nylon and/or polyester is in a range of 20-80 denier, and the textile material has stretchability in both a direction of the wales and a direction of the course.

A user interface of a respiratory therapy system includes a strap assembly, a frame, a connector, and a sensor. The strap assembly is positioned about a head of a user when the user wears the user interface. The frame is physically and electrically connected to the strap assembly, and defines an aperture. The connector has a first end portion and second end portion. The first end portion of the connector can be positioned within the aperture of the frame such that the connector is physically and electrically connected to the frame. The sensor is coupled to the strap assembly or the frame such that the sensor abuts a target area of the user when the user wears the user interface.

A nasal interface is provided that can allow for delivery of flow of a gas to a patient for respiratory support while preventing injury or irritation to the patient. The nasal interface can include a nasal pillow set having a nasal pillow, which can engage against a nose, and relief port, which can permit a gas to be released from the nasal interface. A nasal cannula can include a cannula body to direct a gas through the nasal interface, and can have an opening to direct a gas out of the cannula body. The gas can be directed from the cannula body, through the opening, toward a nasal pillow and a patient's nare. The nasal interface can be coupled with a head harness, which can be worn on the patient's head, and can include a guide that extends toward the nasal interface.

A headgear assembly includes a first arm member and a second arm member each having a first end and a second, opposing end. The first end of the first arm member has a structure sized and configured to engage a first rotation-resistant coupling of a frame in a manner which prohibits rotation of the first arm member with respect to the frame in a first plane in which the first arm member is located. The first end of the second arm member has a structure sized and configured to engage a second rotation-resistant coupling of the frame in a manner which prohibits rotation of the second arm member with respect to the frame in a second plane in which the second arm member is located. The assembly further includes a strap member coupled to the first and second arm members.

A patient interface including a seal-forming structure with a textile membrane that has at least one hole such that the flow of air at a therapeutic pressure is delivered to at least an entrance to the patients nares and/or an entrance to the patients mouth. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in a cavity of a plenum chamber throughout the patients respiratory cycle, in use. The textile membrane includes a first portion that is held in a relaxed state and a second portion that is held in a taut state. The taut state of the second portion is configured to allow the seal-forming structure to include a three-dimensional shape that has multiple curvatures.

A nasal interface is provided that can allow for delivery of flow of a gas to a patient for respiratory support while preventing injury or irritation to the patient. The nasal interface can include a nasal pillow set having a nasal pillow, which can engage against a nose, and relief port, which can permit a gas to be released from the nasal interface. A nasal cannula can include a cannula body to direct a gas through the nasal interface, and can have an opening to direct a gas out of the cannula body. The gas can be directed from the cannula body, through the opening, toward a nasal pillow and a patient's nare. The nasal interface can be coupled with a head harness, which can be worn on the patient's head, and can include a guide that extends toward the nasal interface.

An interface device comprises a cushion and a shell coupled thereto which together define an interior space with the face of a user. The shell includes an inlet port structured to have a conduit carrying a flow of treatment gas to the interior space selectively coupled thereto and a first aperture structured to allow the passage of ambient air into the interior space. A first sealing member is operatively coupled to the shell and is positioned such that the first sealing member is movable between a first state in which the first sealing member substantially seals the first aperture, and a second state wherein the sealing member does not substantially seal the first aperture. The first sealing member moves between the first state and the second state responsive to breathing of the patient.
