Abstract:
A breathing arrangement for use between a patient and a structure to deliver a breathable gas to the patient includes a patient interface including a mouth covering assembly including a cushion structured to sealingly engage around an exterior of a patient's mouth in use, a nozzle assembly including a pair of nozzles structured to sealingly engage within nasal passages of a patient's nose in use without forming a seal on a nasal bridge region of a patient's face, each of the nozzles including a dual wall construction including an inner wall and an outer wall that surrounds the inner wall, and a flexible element connecting the mouth covering assembly and the nozzle assembly.
Abstract:
A forehead pad for use in a respiratory mask with a forehead support, which includes a base portion to contact a user's forehead, a support post connected to the base portion, and a head adapted to connect the support post to a forehead support. A pair of forehead pads may be joined with a connector.
Abstract:
A respiratory mask assembly for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a frame and at least one locking clip. The frame has a main body and a side frame member provided on each lateral side of the main body, at least one of the side frame members including a locking clip receiver assembly. The at least one locking clip has a main body providing a front portion adapted to be removably coupled with the at least one locking clip receiver assembly and a rear portion adapted to be removably coupled to a headgear assembly. The rear portion includes a cross bar that forms an opening through which a strap of the headgear assembly can pass and be removably coupled with the cross bar, and the front portion includes at least one resiliently flexible spring arm that is flexible within the plane of the main body.
Abstract:
A breathing arrangement for use between a patient and a structure to deliver a breathable gas to the patient includes a patient interface including a mouth covering assembly including a cushion structured to sealingly engage around an exterior of a patient's mouth in use, a nozzle assembly including a pair of nozzles structured to sealingly engage within nasal passages of a patient's nose in use without forming a seal on a nasal bridge region of a patient's face, each of the nozzles including a dual wall construction including an inner wall and an outer wall that surrounds the inner wall, and a flexible element connecting the mouth covering assembly and the nozzle assembly.
Abstract:
A mask assembly for therapy of Sleep Disordered Breathing may include: a cushion having a seal forming portion that is structured to form a seal with only the patient's nose in use, the cushion defining at least in part an interior chamber; a shell assembly including a generally rigid shell, the generally rigid shell having a port that opens into the interior chamber, the generally rigid shell including an exhalation vent for venting exhaled gas, an air inlet tube in fluid communication with the cushion to supply breathable gas from a pressurized supply to the interior chamber; and a swivel and an elbow attached to the air inlet tube, the swivel and the elbow configured to be attached to an air supply conduit, wherein the swivel and the elbow are positioned superior to the patient's head in use, and wherein the mask assembly does not contact the patient's forehead in use.
