Abstract:
A patient interface system to treat sleep disordered breathing of a patient with pressurized gas, comprising: a patient interface (3301); at least one strap (3308); at least one retractor (3304) fixedly attached to the patient interface, the at least one retractor connected to the at least one strap and configured to retract the at least one strap without patient actuation; and at least one pad (3302) to cushion a rearward portion of the patient’s head. The at least one pad has an opening, the at least one strap passing through the opening to allow the at least one pad to move freely relative to the at least one strap.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a CPAP breathing mask system with a headgear and cushion module and a seal and frame module that provide a better air-tight seal between the mask and the user’s face. The mask system comprises a headgear and cushion module; and a seal and frame module provided to the headgear and cushion module. The seal and frame module includes a sealing portion adapted to form a seal with the patient’s face and a frame portion adapted to form a breathing chamber, and the headgear and cushion module includes a cushion region adapted to support and shape the sealing portion and a headgear region adapted to support and stabilize the mask system on the patient’s face. The cushion region of the headgear and cushion module includes a cushioning component and a structural component to provide structural support and stiffness to the cushioning component. The headgear and cushion module includes a single piece construction. The headgear and cushion module is cut by ultrasonic die cutting to provide the headgear and cushion module with substantially rounded edges. The cushion region includes a first softer layer of foam and a second harder layer of foam. The seal and frame module include a single piece construction constructed of silicone.
Abstract:
Headgear (10) for use with a patient interface to deliver pressurised gas to a patient for use in providing positive airway therapy, comprising: a crown strap assembly comprising a neck strap (1), a first lateral crown strap (14), a second lateral crown strap (17) and a top crown strap (18), the top crown strap being joined to the first lateral crown strap at a first joint and the second lateral crown strap at a second joint, the neck strap being joined to the first lateral crown strap at a third joint and the second lateral crown strap at a fourth joint; a first upper mask connection strap (24) and a second upper mask connection strap (27), the first upper mask connection strap and the second upper mask connection strap each configured to in-use connect to the patient interface, a first lower mask connection strap (22) and a second lower mask connection strap (25), the first lower mask connection strap and the second lower mask connection strap each configured to in-use connect to the patient interface. The neck strap does not include a joint located in the user’s sagittal plane when the headgear is in-use.
Abstract:
A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a mask having a sealing portion adapted to form a seal with the patient headgear adapted to secure the mask to a head of the patient and an adjustable strap assembly including a pair of straps connected to one another in a length adjustable manner.

Abstract:
A mask system (200) for delivering pressurized breathable gas to a patient, comprising: a chamber forming portion including: a back panel (220) at least partially delimiting a cavity adapted to receive a patient’s nose, the back panel including an upper panel (220a) coupled to a lower panel (220b) such that an opening is formed between the upper panel and the lower panel, the opening configured such that the patient’s nose is received into the cavity through the opening. The upper panel has an upper seal portion (246) configured to seal against the patient’s external nares, and the lower panel has a lower seal portion (248) configured to seal against the patient’s upper lip.
Abstract:
A mask system for providing pressurized breathable gas includes at least one panel and a seal member, wherein the panel comprises a textile. The panel defines a cavity adapted to receive a patient's nose. The seal member is adapted to sealingly engage with the patient's face. The panel and seal member may be integrally formed in one piece.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a headgear with length adjustable straps for a CPAP breathing or respiratory mask that seals around the underside of the nose for maintaining a patient interface on a patient’s face for the delivery of breathable gas to the patient. The headgear comprises a first headgear strap with a first connector, the first connector comprising a proximal end proximate a main body of the first headgear strap and comprising a terminal end opposite the proximal end; and a second headgear strap with a second connector, the second connector comprising a proximal end proximate a main body of the second headgear strap and comprising a terminal end opposite the proximal end. The first connector attaches to the second headgear strap at a location on the second headgear strap spaced apart from the second connector so that the first headgear strap is length adjustably connected to the second headgear strap. The second connector attaches to the first headgear strap at a location on the first headgear strap spaced apart from the first connector so that the second headgear strap is length adjustably connected to the first headgear strap. When the headgear is engaged with the patient’s head and the first and second headgear straps are connected, the terminal end of the first connector covers the second headgear strap and the terminal end of the second connector cover the first headgear strap. The total length of the first and second headgear straps is adjustable by pulling the first and second headgear straps in opposing directions. The first headgear strap is releasably connected to the second headgear strap.
