    摘要: A patient interface comprises a seal-forming structure including a textile membrane and a support structure to support the textile membrane. The seal-forming structure may have a varying construction in order to accommodate different regions and the varying contours of the patients face to ensure a robust and comfortable seal. An air impermeable layer of the textile membrane may have a thickness that varies in different portions of the textile membrane and/or different regions of the cushion assembly. Further, the seal-forming structure may include an underlying cushion, and an arrangement of the textile membrane and the underlying cushion and/or the configuration of the underlying cushion may vary in different regions of the cushion assembly to optimize patient comfort and the effectiveness of the seal in different regions of the patients face.

    摘要: A patient interface may include a plenum chamber pressurisable to a therapeutic pressure, a seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face surrounding an entrance to the patient's airways, a positioning and stabilising structure to provide a force to hold the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on the patient's head, and a vent structure to allow a continuous flow of gases exhaled by the patient from an interior of the plenum chamber to ambient, wherein the patient interface is configured to leave the patient's mouth uncovered during therapy, wherein the seal-forming structure comprises two lateral support regions, each located at a lateralmost side of the seal-forming structure, and a medial region positioned between the lateral support regions, the hole passing through the medial region, and wherein the lateral support regions are thicker than the medial region.
