Publication number: 20240024607Abstract: Aspects of the present technology comprise a positioning and stabilising structure to hold a seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a head of a patient. The seal-forming structure may be constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face surrounding an entrance to the patient's airways for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure of at least 4 cmH2O with respect to ambient air pressure throughout the patient's respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise at least one gas delivery tube to deliver the flow of air to the entrance of a patient's airways via the seal-forming structure. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise an adjustment mechanism for adjustment of a length of the at least one gas delivery tube to enable the positioning and stabilising structure to fit different size heads.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Michiel KOOIJ, Alexander Joel BENTLEY, Igor BESIC, Robert Thomas BURNHAM, Aaron Samuel DAVIDSON, Priyanshu GUPTA, Kirrily Michele HASKARD, Ryan Michael KIRKPATRICK, Luke Emmanuel KLINKENBERG, Dimitri Marco MAURER, Joseph Samuel ORMROD, Gerard Michael RUMMERY, Rupert Christian SCHEINER, Bishavjot SINGH, Christopher James SMITH, Lochlan VON MOGER, Paul Derrick WATSON, Daniel Marc WEISS, Hadley WHITE

Publication number: 20220257891Abstract: A seal-forming structure for a patient interface may include a patient-contacting surface configured to engage the patient's facial skin to form a seal; a posterior opening formed in the patient-contacting surface, the posterior opening configured to provide the flow of air at said therapeutic pressure to the patient's nares; and a support structure extending from the patient contacting surface to an interior surface of the seal-forming structure, the support structure and the interior surface forming a continuous loop, wherein the patient interface is configured to allow the patient to breath from ambient through their mouth in the absence of a flow of pressurised air through the plenum chamber inlet port, or the patient interface is configured to leave the patient's mouth uncovered.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2022Publication date: August 18, 2022Inventors: Alexander Joel BENTLEY, Aaron Samuel DAVIDSON, Craig David EDWARDS, Lachlan Richard GOLDSPINK, William Laurence HITCHCOCK, Rupert Christian SCHEINER, Lochlan VON MOGER
