    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: 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.
