Abstract:
The present technology relates to a kit comprising a device for providing breathing gas to a patient and a specific facing as well as to a method of setting the mode of operation of such a device.
Abstract:
A patient interface that provides breathable gas to a person has a face engaging cushion that includes an internal cavity. In the internal cavity fluid is located, and a control means that is capable of communicating with the fluid can incite change to a property or to properties of the fluid.
Abstract:
It is discloses a patient interface comprising a seal forming portion, a pad, and a cushion. The seal forming portion may comprise a base surface and a plurality of fibers fixed to and extending away from said base surface for contacting a patient's skin. The cushion may comprise at least along a portion of the circumference a first structure having an elongate section joined with at least one end section oriented substantially perpendicular or at an angle to the elongate section. A first end A of the elongate section may be connected or connectable to a frame member. The end section may be provided at an opposing second end B of the elongate section. The pad may comprise a resilient foam material layer with the seal forming portion. The pad may be adapted to be connected to the cushion.
Abstract:
The present technology relates to a pad for forming a seal forming structure against a user's skin for use with a patient interface, the pad comprising, a base layer, a fibre layer comprising a plurality of fibers for contacting a patient's skin, and a connection layer for connecting the fibers to the base material, wherein the base layer and/or the fibre layer is/are adapted to act as a reservoir for substances. Furthermore, it relates to a set of pads, a kit and a patient interface.
Abstract:
The technology provides for a cushion assembly or a tool for forming the cushion assembly for a patient interface delivery of a supply of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways. The cushion assembly has an inferior surface and a mask connection portion, and includes a pad arranged on the inferior surface for sealingly contacting a wearer's face in use.
Abstract:
The present specification is directed to a seal forming structure for a patient interface for delivery of air to a patient's airway, wherein the seal forming structure comprises a first section of a thermoformable material and a second section of another material. The present specification is also directed to a patient interface comprising such a seal forming structure, wherein the patient interface further comprises a shell. The specification is also directed to methods for manufacturing such a patient interface.
Abstract:
It is discloses a patient interface 3000 comprising a seal forming portion 11, a pad 10, and a cushion 20. The seal forming portion 11 may comprise a base surface 111 and a plurality of fibers 112 fixed to and extending away from said base surface 111 for contacting a patient's skin. The cushion 20 may comprise at least along a portion of the circumference a first structure 22 having an elongate section 24 joined with at least one end section 26 oriented substantially perpendicular or at an angle to the elongate section 24. A first end A of the elongate section 24 may be connected or connectable to a frame member 30. The end section 26 may be provided at an opposing second end B of the elongate section 24. The pad 10 may comprise a resilient foam material layer with the seal forming portion 11. The pad 10 may be adapted to be connected to the cushion 20.
