A patient interface device includes a support structure, a pivot arm pivotably coupled to the support structure and structured to pivot about an axis, a patient coupling member, such as a mask or a forehead support, coupled to the pivot arm, and a cam wheel rotateably coupled to the support structure and engaging the pivot arm, wherein rotation of the cam wheel relative to the support structure and the pivot arm causes the pivot arm to pivot about the axis and the patient coupling member to move either forward or backward along a path of movement. Also, an alternative patient interface device includes a cam wheel rotatable about a cushion member that changes a position of a main body portion of the cushion member relative to a headgear frame member of the patient interface device.

A patient interface device is provided that includes a patient sealing assembly and a headgear assembly coupled to the patient sealing assembly. The headgear assembly includes an adjustment mechanism having a first portion, a second portion, and a fastening mechanism. The first portion has a first end and an opposite second end, with the first end being coupled to the patient sealing assembly. The second portion has a first end and an opposite second end, the first end movably coupled to the second end of the first portion and the second end coupled to a portion of the headgear assembly. The second portion is movable among a first position in which the first and second portions are generally aligned and a second position in which the first and second portions are disposed generally parallel. The fastening mechanism fastens the first and second portions in the second position.

A garment having a tubing management system incorporated therein is provided. The tubing management system includes at least one conduit and a coupling system for the conduit. The coupling system has at least one coupling point, which is located, for example, at the neck opening of the garment. The coupling system defines a path for the conduit, i.e., there is more than one attachment point, therefore the path of the conduit may be controlled. In this configuration, the conduit moves with the user and, as such, there is a reduced chance that the user's movements, even while asleep, will cause the facemask to be pulled from its proper position.

A patient interface device includes a mask having a shell defining a chamber. A component, such as a nasal cannula coupled to a sensor, is structured to be selectively positioned within the chamber. A manipulation mechanism for selectively manipulating the position of the component within the chamber from an exterior of the mask when the mask is placed against the patient's face. The manipulation mechanism may include an attachment element, such as a magnet, attached to the component and structured to be selectively positioned on the interior surface of the shell, and a manipulation element, such as a magnet, structured to be selectively positioned on the exterior surface of the shell and coupled to the attachment element through the shell, wherein movement of the manipulation element causes movement of the attachment element and the component.
摘要:
A patient interface device that includes a support member sized and configured to span at least a portion of a patient's face while remaining below the patient's eyes responsive to the patient interface device being donned by such a patient and a sealing assembly operatively coupled to the support member such that the support member is moveable relative to the support member. The support member defines a gas carrying conduit adapted to carry a flow of gas to the sealing assembly. The support member is a single-piece unitary member and includes a conduit coupling portion adapted to be coupled to a patient circuit.

An improved headgear is structured to secure a mask to the head of a patient and comprises a parietal support, an occipital support, and a zygomatic support connected together. The zygomatic support comprises a pair of zygomatic braces that are each structured to engage the face of the patient and to support the mask in fluid communication with the patient. The zygomatic braces each comprise at least one of a cephalic element structured to engage the face cephalic to the crest of the zygomatic bone, and a caudal element structured to engage the face caudal to the zygomatic bone.

A cushion (10, 30, 56) for a patient interface device includes a patient contacting portion (12, 32, 60) and wall portions (18, 20, 22, 24, 34, 66, 68, 70, 72). The wall portions include a plurality of voids (26, 74) and/or orifices therein. The patient contacting portion and the wall portions may be made of a material having a hardness of between 5 and 60 on the Shore 00 scale. Also, the parts of the wall not having the plurality of voids/orifices provided therein may have a cross-sectional thickness of 4 mm or greater. The voids may include a first void provided in an inner side of a first one of the wall portions and a second void provided in an outer side of the first one of the wall portions. The first void and the second void are positioned across from and overlapping one another.

A patient interface device (30, 230, 530, 630, 730) that includes a support member (34, 234, 334, 434, 534, 634) comprising a central support portion and of cheek mount supports (70) coupled to the central portion. Each cheek mount support is configured to apply a force a side a user's cheekbone while applying substantially no force over an apex of such a user's cheekbone responsive to the patient interface being worn by a user. A seal member (36, 236, 336, 436, 536, 636, 736) is coupled to the support portion. The seal member is adapted to seal against a surface of a user to communicate a flow of gas with an airway of such a user. A conduit coupling member (38, 355, 438a, 438b, 538) is coupled to the seal member.
