  • Publication number: 20240424238
    Abstract: A patient interface includes a plenum chamber pressurizable to a therapeutic pressure, a seal-forming structure configured to form a seal against the patient's face, and a positioning and stabilising structure configured to provide a force for maintaining the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position. The patient interface also includes an RPT device connected directly to the plenum chamber. The PRT device includes an electric blower for providing airflow at the therapeutic pressure. The positioning and stabilising structure supports at least part of the weight of the RPT device. The patient interface may also include an electrical power source electrically connected to the RPT device.

  • Publication number: 20240148999
    Abstract: A patient interface including a plenum chamber, a first seal-forming structure for forming a seal around the patient's mouth, and a second seal-forming structure for forming a seal around the patient's nares. The patient interface further includes at least one stopper rib disposed in the cavity of the plenum chamber spaced apart from the first seal-forming structure in a rest position. The first seal-forming structure configured to contact the at least one stopper rib in an operational position. The at least one stopper rib configured to oppose compression of the first seal-forming structure in an anterior direction. The second seal-forming structure is not configured to contact the at least one stopper rib.

  • Publication number: 20230337937
    Abstract: An eye mask system for providing respiratory pressure therapy (RPT) for treatment of sleep disordered breathing, comprising: an eye mask configured to cover the user’s eyes in use; one or more transducers configured to influence the user’s sleep and/ or detect characteristics of the user or the user’s sleep. The eye mask system may comprise: a connection port to receive a pressurised flow of air or a flow generator; the eye mask system may comprise a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure to form a seal with a region of the user’s face and a vent to allow flow of gases exhaled by the user to ambient. The eye mask system may operate in a non-treatment mode in which RPT is not provided to the user, and a treatment mode in which RPT is provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20230241342
    Abstract: 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 a front hoop arranged to contact, in use, at least a region of the patient's head superior to an otobasion superior of the patient's head and a rear strap.
