Abstract: A patient interface to provide breathable gas to a patient, comprising: a plenum chamber assembly, comprising: a nasal plenum chamber at least partly defining an upper gas chamber; an oral plenum chamber at least partly defining a lower gas chamber; and a decoupling structure at least partly connecting the nasal plenum chamber and the oral plenum chamber and at least party defining a flow path; a top plate including at least one connection feature configured to releasably retain a first portion of a positioning and stabilising structure; and a faceplate configured to releasably retain a second portion of a positioning and stabilising structure.

Abstract: A patient interface includes a frame assembly including connectors operatively attachable to headgear, a cushion assembly provided to the frame assembly and including a seal-forming structure structured to form a seal with the patient's nose and/or mouth, and an air delivery connector provided to the frame assembly and operatively connected to an air delivery tube for supplying the air at positive pressure along an air flow path. The cushion assembly is structured to releasably connect to the frame assembly independently of the air delivery connector. The air delivery connector is structured to releasably connect to the frame assembly independently of the cushion assembly.

The sealing arrangement includes structure to establish a positive connection with the frame and with the elbow.

Abstract: A patient interface includes a frame assembly (16100) including connectors operatively attachable to headgear, a cushion assembly (16175) including a shell (161800) and a seal-forming structure (16200) structured to form a seal with the patient's nose and/or mouth, and an air delivery connector (16600). The cushion assembly and air delivery connector are structured to releasably connect to the frame assembly independently of each other. A static face seal and separate static diametric seal between the shell (161800) and frame (16100). A dynamic face seal and separate dynamic diametric seal between the air delivery connector (16600) and frame (16100). Separate claims (FIG. 6) to a frame assembly (16100) with upper headgear connector arms (16134) including at least one slot (6146) (claim 17) or flexible portions (claim 22) to form hinges structured and arranged to conform to varying facial profiles.

Abstract: A patient interface for delivery of a supply of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways comprising: a cushion member that includes a retaining structure and a seal-forming structure permanently connected to the retaining structure; a frame member attachable to the retaining structure; and a positioning and stabilising structure attachable to the frame member.

Abstract: A patient interface may include: a plenum chamber at least partly defining a patient interface chamber, a seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face, at least one conduit, at least one conduit connector configured to pneumatically connect the at least one conduit to the plenum chamber to provide a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure to the patient interface chamber for breathing by the patient, and a positioning and stabilising structure to provide a force to hold the seal-forming structure on the patient's head, the positioning and stabilising structure comprising at least one tie, wherein the at least one conduit connector includes an anti-asphyxia valve configured to allow the patient to breath from ambient through their mouth in the absence of a flow of pressurised air.

Abstract: A mask apparatus for a respiratory treatment can permit delivery of breathable gas to a user. In one example, the mask may employ a frame and cushion to form a seal for both mouth and nose. The frame may be adapted for coupling with a respiratory treatment apparatus so as to permit communication of a pressurized gas from the respiratory treatment apparatus. The cushion, which may be foam, may have a substantially under the nose configuration or over the nose configuration. The mask may have a common plenum chamber for both nose and mouth. The cushion may further define a centrally open lip superior region. The cushion may be adapted to couple with the frame directly or to the frame in conjunction with a cushion support clip. Various features of the cushion may further promote sealing and comfort for the under the nose design.

Abstract: Patient interfaces having an oral portion and a nasal portion and additional features of a seal-forming structure and a shell are described. Various embodiments of a seal-forming structure are contemplated that comprise arrangements having areas with a higher resistance to deformation at laterally spaced portions of either the nasal portion or of the oral portion. Another seal forming structure comprises a bridge portion that can be deformed to accommodate different patient nose lengths. Yet another seal-forming structure comprises different surface finishes on the nasal portion and the oral portion.
