Abstract: A patient interface structure for delivery of respiratory therapy to a patient includes a front plate configured to conform to the shape of the patient's face; a mouth cushion defining a breathing chamber and provided to the front plate and configured to seal around the patient's mouth; and a nasal cushion configured to seal the patient's nasal airways. The nasal cushion is supported by the mouth cushion, does not contact a bridge of the patient's nose in use, and extends at least partially into the breathing chamber. A patient interface system includes a patient interface structure and a patient interface structure positioning system configured to position, stabilize and secure the patient interface structure in sealing engagement with the patient's face.

Abstract: A mask system includes a frame and a cushion provided to the frame. The frame provides a brace or fulcrum like structure about which the cushion may pivot, bend, and/or flex.

Abstract: A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a sealing portion (210) including a nose tip engagement portion (212) adapted to form a seal with the patient's nose tip, an upper lip engagement portion (213) adapted to form a seal with the patient's upper lip and/or base of the patient's nares, and nostril engagement flaps (214) adapted to form a seal with the patient's nares. The nose tip engagement portion (212), the upper lip engagement portion (213), and the nostril engagement flaps (214) are all structured to extend or curve outwardly from a supporting wall defining an air path.
