Nasal seal and respiratory interface

A nasal mask having a seal housing and a flexible nasal seal connected or connectable to the seal housing to define a mask cavity. The nasal seal extends between a face-contacting side and an outer side. The nasal seal has a contacting surface having an edge that defines a nose-receiving opening into the mask cavity and which is configured to seal about the user's nose. The nasal seal also has an under-nose support fixedly connected into the seal and which is configured to extend within the mask cavity and having a contact surface that is oriented to contact at least a portion of the under-nose surface of the user.

A patient has a cushion forming at least part of a plenum chamber pressurizable to a therapeutic pressure. The cushion includes a seal-forming structure to form a seal with a region of a patient's face surrounding the entrance to the patient's nares; a positioning and stabilising structure to provide a force to hold the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head, the positioning and stabilizing structure comprising a first and second headgear sections each adapted to extend towards the cushion from the rear of the patient's head, the first headgear section comprising a hollow tube configured to convey pressurized gas at the therapeutic pressure from the rear or crown of the patient's head to the cushion, the second headgear section comprising a strap.

TEXTILE CONDUIT WITH WINDOWS
20220401684 · 2022-12-22 ·

A patient interface a positioning and stabilising structure, which includes a gas delivery tube with a tube wall that has an interior passage for flow of pressurized air. A portion of the tube wall includes a patient contacting portion and a non-patient contacting portion. The patient contacting portion includes a layer of textile material or foam material configured to lie against the patient's head. At least a section of the non-patient contacting portion includes of a transparent and/or translucent material. The layer of textile material or foam material is bonded to the transparent and/or translucent material so that the tube wall is formed as a one piece construction. A plane extends generally transverse to longitudinal axis contains both (1) the textile material or foam material and (2) the transparent and/or translucent material, so that the patient may view the interior passage along a transverse axis extending through the plane.

TEXTILE SEAL-FORMING STRUCTURE WITH MULTIPLE CURVATURES

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.
