The invention relates to a patient interface comprising a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilizing structure, as well as the method of operating the patient interface. The patient's interface is configured to leave a patient's mouth uncovered or if the seal-forming structure is configured to seal around a patient's nose and mouth, the patient interface is configured to allow the patient to breath from the ambient in an absence of the flow of pressurized. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear, and the seal-forming structure and at least a portion of the headgear is formed from a one piece construction of textile material. In another embodiment, the seal-forming structure and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure includes an adaptive portion that adjusts based on usage conditions. In another embodiment, the positioning and stabilizing structure, the seal-forming structure and/or the plenum chamber includes and/or is formed of a textile material, and the textile material includes at least one magnetic thread constructed of magnetic material to provide a magnetic interaction between a first part of the patient interface and a second part of the patient interface. In another embodiment, a stiffener is coupled to the plenum chamber, the seal-forming structure, and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure. In another embodiment, at least one of the plenum chamber and the seal-forming structure includes a textile material; and wherein the textile material includes a surface structure that limits adhesion of debris. A UV cleaning receptacle of the patient interface is also disclosed.

A safety valve sheet, a breathing tube, a breathing tube assembly and a breathing mask are provided. The safety valve sheet is used for being arranged in the breathing tube which is provided with a safety valve hole of the breathing mask, the safety valve sheet comprises a sheet body, and the sheet body comprises an outer side surface being capable of covering the safety valve hole, wherein a protrusion is formed on the outer side surface, and the protrusion is used for being contacted with an inner side surface of a hole edge of the safety valve hole when the sheet body covers the safety valve hole to form an exhaust gap between the outer side surface and the hole edge. The safety valve sheet is simple in structure and can effectively reduce exhaust noise after being applied to the breathing mask.

An interface device is structured to be connected in fluid communication with a source of breathing gas and to provide a flow of breathing gas to the airways of a patient. The interface device includes a support (24), a deformable portion (28) situated on the support, and an interface portion (32) situated on the deformable portion and being structured to be engaged with the patient in the vicinity of the airways, with the deformable portion including a plurality of deformable elements (36) that form a lattice structure and that are connected with the support at a plurality of spaced apart points of connection (44) on the support. The interface device may be formed via an additive manufacturing process.

A minimal weight patient interface device that delivers breathing gas to a user includes a cushion assembling including a support cushion assembly and a sealing member is described herein. In one exemplary embodiment, the support cushion assembly includes a wedge that is made of a high density foam received within a wedge receiving portion of the support cushion assembly. In the exemplary embodiment, the cushion assembly is formed by the sealing member fitting over the support cushion assembly. The sealing member, in one embodiment, is made of silicone, for example, having a low durometer value (e.g., between 5-10 Shore 00). Furthermore, in one embodiment, the patient interface device also includes a faceplate that is placed over the cushion assembly and is made of a thermoform, such as a high density foam laminated between two pieces of fabric, such as polyester.

A respiratory mask for providing positive pressure therapy having ball jointed elbow, one or more detachable forehead pieces and headgear comprising a spacer fabric region is disclosed herein. The elbow is configured to be removable when oriented to a predetermined position. The forehead pieces are provided in one or more sizes. The spacer fabric region comprises two or more layers wherein the raw edges are turned to the inside of the layers. The seal comprises features that improves seal performance and accommodates a wider variety of facial geometries.

A non-invasive ventilation system may include at least one outer tube with a proximal lateral end of the outer tube adapted to extend to a side of a nose. The at least one outer tube may also include a throat section. At least one coupler may be located at a distal section of the outer tube for impinging at least one nostril and positioning the at least one outer tube relative to the at least one nostril. At least one jet nozzle may be positioned within the outer tube at the proximal lateral end and in fluid communication with a pressurized gas supply. At least one opening in the distal section may be adapted to be in fluid communication with the nostril. At least one aperture in the at least one outer tube may be in fluid communication with ambient air. The at least one aperture may be in proximity to the at least one jet nozzle.

A patient interface may include a plenum chamber and a positioning and stabilising structure. The plenum chamber may include a seal-forming structure and a fascia portion. At least a medial portion of the fascia portion is flexible. In embodiments, the patient interface may include a rigidiser to control flexing of the fascia portion.

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.

Disclosed is a respiratory interface device (1) and components thereof. The respiratory interface device (1) comprises a body (2), a frame (3), and an inlet conduit (4). The frame has a front wall (10a), side walls (10b), and side arms (12), and a support platform (11) extending rearwardly from the front wall (10a). An inlet opening (13) is defined in the support platform (11). The body (2) forms a chamber with the support platform (11) and comprises at least one nasal outlet (5), a base opening (7), and at least one further opening (6), through which the support platform (11) extends.
