  • Publication number: 20080053446
    Abstract: A respiratory mask assembly is provided, including a generally rigid mask frame coupled to a cushion formed of a resilient material. In one example, the cushion is maintained in abutment with the mask frame by a portion of a ledge being retained by a retainer member. In another example, the mask assembly further includes a collar for maintaining the cushion in abutment with the mask frame. Each of the mask frame, cushion, and collar can be generally triangularly shaped. The mask assembly can also include a plurality of generally triangularly-shaped cushions each including a relatively different face-engaging portion with an outer membrane. The mask assembly can also include a forehead support including a forehead support arm, forehead support flange, and a resilient forehead cushion. The forehead cushion is adapted to be infinitely vertically adjustable within a range relative to the forehead support arm.

A pair of headgear strap flanges can also be molded integrally with the ventilation interface. The nasal prongs provide a first sealing interface between an outer surface of the nasal prongs and an inner surface of the patient's nares. The bellows provides a second sealing interface between a top surface of the bellows-like structure and a bottom surface of a patient's nose. The headgear strap flanges provide a third sealing interface between the ventilation interface and a mustache region of the patient's face as well as a bottom surface of the patient's nose.
