Abstract:
A patient interface device is described for delivering a gas to a patient, the patient interface comprising a fastening means for fastening the patient interface to the user, the fastening means consisting of an element adapted for engaging the user's nose during use, wherein the fastening means is adapted for being fixed to said nose by exerting a pressure on said nose substantially in the width direction of said nose; and associated method.
Abstract:
A wearable patch (10) comprising an ultrasound transducer (30) mounted on the patch, the ultrasound transducer comprising a major surface for contacting the skin of a wearer of the patch, said major surface being covered by a layer (33) of a soluble adhesive precursor, the wearable patch further comprising a seal ring (40) extending from the patch, said seal ring surrounding the ultrasound transducer. Also disclosed are a wearable patch kit, assembly and application method.
Abstract:
An electrode configured to provide electrical contact with skin of a subject is provided. The electrode includes an electrode body configured to be removably coupled with the skin of the subject and to receive electrical signals from and/or transmit electrical signals to the skin of the subject, and an electrical coupling that facilitates coupling the electrode to an external computing system. The electrode body includes a conductive silicone material configured to enable uptake or diffusion of moisture from the skin of the subject over which the electrode body is disposed; and a detergent configured to facilitate a flow of ions through the conductive silicone material.

Abstract:
A headgear assembly is disclosed for use in a patient interface assembly adapted to communicate a flow of gas with an airway of a patient comprising: at least a first headgear portion (9, 11) disposed during use on a first side of a patient's face in an area close to a first eye of the patient; a first stabilization member (2) operatively coupled to the first headgear portion so as to limit the movement of the headgear portion in a direction towards the first eye; and a patient interface assembly comprising such a headgear assembly.
