Abstract: A swivel elbow and connector assembly for a patient interface system includes a ring (128) configured to be sealingly secured in an aperture of the patient interface system and an elbow (125) swivably secured in the ring. The ring includes a first side in an interior of the patient interface system and a second side at an exterior of the patient interface system when the ring is secured in the aperture. The ring comprises a first flange on the first side and a second flange on the second side, the first and second flanges defining a channel that sealingly engages the aperture of the patient interface system. An inner surface of the ring is partially spherical and an outer surface of the elbow is partially spherical and the elbow and the ring form a ball and socket connection. The assembly includes a decoupling system having multiple decoupling structures (a decoupling gusset (158(1)), the ball and socket joint provided by the elbow and ring, and a swivel cuff (129)) to permit decoupling of tube torque and/or tube drag forces from the sealing forces applied by the cushion assembly (250) to the patient’s face.

Abstract: A nasal mask system, comprising: a cushion assembly (250) including a sealing region having a nose ridge region (252), sides of nose region, corners of nose region (254), and a top lip region (255) adapted to seal around both nares of the patient’s nose. The sealing region includes a membrane seal (260) that extends around an entire perimeter of the sealing region. The sides of nose region includes a portion adapted to be positioned and seal along a region adjacent the junction between the nasal greater alar cartilage and the lateral nasal cartilage of the patient’s nose.

Abstract: A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient, the patient interface comprising: a frame (5030); a nasal prong assembly (5020) provided to the frame and adapted to provide an effective seal or interface with the patient’s nose; an elbow (5040) provided to the frame and adapted to be connected to an air delivery tube that delivers breathable gas to the patient; and headgear (5050) adapted to support the patient interface in a desired position on the patient’s head, the headgear including side straps (5053) and rigidizers (5055) provided to respective side straps. Each rigidizer includes a frame interface structured to retain the rigidizer to the frame, provide rotation relative to the frame, and provide a friction element to provide resistance to uncontrolled rotation of the rigidizer with respect to the frame. The frame is relatively softer and more flexible than the rigidizers.

Abstract: A cushion for a patient interface that delivers breathable gas to a patient. The cushion includes a nasal bridge region, a pair of cheek regions and a chin region. The cushion defines a breathing cavity. The cushion has a membrane with a nasal bridge region, a pair of cheek regions and a chin region to form a continuous seal on the patient’s face. The membrane defines an aperture adapted to receive the patient’s nose and mouth. The cushion has a support structure to support the membrane. The support structure includes an underlying cushion to provide support to the membrane. The underlying cushion includes a left cheek region and a right cheek region. The underlying cushion and the membrane form double-walled construction in the pair of cheek regions of the cushion. A part of the chin region of the cushion does not include an underlying cushion.

Abstract: A shroud (1020) for a mask system includes a retaining portion structured to retain a frame (1040), a pair of upper headgear connectors (1024) each including an elongated arm (1026) and a slot (1027) at the free end of the arm adapted to receive a headgear strap, and a pair of lower headgear connectors (1025) each adapted to attach to a headgear strap. The retaining portion, the upper headgear connectors, and the lower headgear connectors are integrally formed as a one piece structure.

Abstract: 595423 Disclosed is a mask assembly to supply breathable gas to a patient with adjustable forehead supports for improved comfort and sealing. The mask assembly comprises a mask frame; a cushion provided to the mask frame; and a forehead support. The forehead support comprises a frame connector extending from an upper portion of the mask frame and having an outer housing and an internal ring supported within the outer housing; an actuator disposed on the frame connector; and a forehead cushion support. The forehead cushion support comprises at least one forehead cushion support plate to carry at least one forehead cushion; and a tube having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end attached to the at least one forehead cushion support plate, the tube slidably attached to the frame connector along a linear adjustment path defined by the internal ring such that at least the distal end of the tube is enclosed within the housing in an extended position and a retracted position. At least two protrusions and at least two corresponding keyways are configured to prevent the tube from rotating about its longitudinal axis within the ring between the extended position and the retracted position. The actuator adjustably secures the tube to the frame connector along the linear adjustment path. Position markings are provided on the tube to indicate a position of the tube and include artwork formed by pad-printing, etching, laser-etching, and/or in-mold decoration.

Abstract: A cushion (10) for a patient interface that delivers breathable gas to a patient includes a base wall (28) structured to be connected to a frame, an underlying support cushion (30) extending away from the base wall (28) towards the patient's face in use, and a membrane (32) provided to substantially cover at least a portion of the underlying cushion (30). The membrane (32) is adapted to form a continuous seal on the patient's face. The underlying cushion (30) has a spring-like connection with the base wall (28). The underlying cushion (30) and/or base wall (28) define a spring constant that varies along a length of the seal.

Abstract: A cushion for a patient interface, that delivers breathable gas to a patient, is disclosed. The cushion comprises, a base wall structured to be connected to a frame, an underlying support cushion extending away from the base wall towards the patient's face in use, and a membrane provided to substantially cover at least a portion of the underlying cushion. The membrane includes a nasal bridge, cheek, and chin regions that form a continuous seal on nasal bridge, cheek, and chin regions of the patient's face. The nasal bridge and adjacent cheek regions define an intersection where the membrane in the nasal bridge region is constructed and formed so that a centreline on an apex of the face-contacting side of the membrane has a substantially flat portion in elevation view.
