Abstract: The present invention is related to a cushion (1) for a respiratory mask, to a method of manufacturing such a cushion (1) as well as to a respiratory mask including a cushion (1) and an apparatus for manufacturing a cushion (1) for a respiratory mask. It is particularly referred to a method of manufacturing a cushion (1) for a respiratory mask, comprising the steps of providing a mold comprising at least two mold halves (11, 13) and at least one core (12) therein, closing the mold, injecting a first material into the mold to form the cushion (1), wherein the core (12) is enclosed by the cushion (1) thereby forming at least one cavity (4), opening the mold, removing the core (12) from the cushion (1) to provide the at least one cavity within the cushion (1), and sealing the cavity (4).

Abstract: A forehead pad for a breathing mask includes a substantially dimensionally stable first wall element and an elastomer second wall element coupled to the first wall element. The second wall element has a contact zone adapted to contact a surface of a user in use. The first and second wall elements define a filling-material-receiving chamber adapted to receive a filling material.

Abstract: A forehead-contacting device for a breathing mask includes a support element made from an elastomer material. The support element forms a support face which in an application position is adapted to seat on a forehead area of a user. The support element includes a jacket that defines a hollow chamber adapted to be filled with a viscous medium.

Abstract: A breathing mask device, a sealing lip device for a breathing mask device, a molding tool and a method for producing a corresponding breathing mask device and sealing lip device are described. An aspect of the invention is to provide ways that make it possible to create a breathing mask device that, with sufficiently strong tightness is distinguished by particular wearing comfort and which moreover can be produced advantageously in times of industrial production standpoints.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the surface structure of a plastic material and particularly of silicone surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to the surface structure of the surfaces of a breathing mask assembly or a patient interface to be used for supplying breathing gas to a patient. Such patient interface for providing respiratory gas to a patient comprises a contact surface for contacting a patient's skin, wherein at least a part of said contact surface is a structured surface.

Abstract: A respiratory mask, a mould for a respiratory mask, as well as to a method for producing a respiratory mask are disclosed, in which manufacturability and usability of respiratory masks are improved. A respiratory mask is disclosed for administering a breathable gas to a patient, the respiratory mask comprising a first component formed from a flexible material and a second component formed from a material that is more rigid than the flexible material, wherein the first component is formed onto the second component by an overmoulding process.
