Abstract: A cushion assembly for a patient interface including an elastomeric seal-forming structure that is shaped to be bisected by a sagittal plane having a line that is tangent to the elastomeric seal-forming structure at a superior tangent point and at an inferior tangent point. A saddle-shaped superior region of the elastomeric seal-forming structure straddles the sagittal plane and includes the superior tangent point. The elastomeric seal-forming structure transitions in a cylinder-shaped superior region from the saddle-shaped region to a dome-shaped superior region offset from the sagittal plane. In addition, an elastomeric wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure is greater in the cylinder-shaped superior region than in the saddle-shaped superior region and the dome-shaped superior region.

Abstract: A cushion assembly for a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure to a patient's airways includes a foam cushion configured to sealingly engage the patient's face; and an elastomeric support portion configured to support the foam cushion and form at least part of a plenum chamber with the foam cushion. The elastomeric support portion includes a support structure and a folded section extending radially inward from the support structure. The folded section acts as a seat for the foam cushion, and the folded portion is configured to allow the foam cushion to roll inward toward an interior of the chamber in response to a compressive force acting on the foam cushion.

Abstract: A shroud for a mask system includes a retaining portion structured to retain a frame, a pair of upper headgear connectors each including an elongated arm and a slot at the free end of the arm adapted to receive a headgear strap, and a pair of lower headgear connectors each adapted to attach to a headgear strap. The retaining portion, the upper headgear connectors, and the lower headgear connectors are integrally formed as a one piece structure.

Abstract: A patient interface system for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a patient interface configured to sealingly engage the patient's face. A mechanism may be provided to ensure that an effective seal is maintained between the patient interface and the patient's face by preventing, reducing, minimizing or limiting effects of disruptive forces, such as tube drag, on the patient interface.

Abstract: A patient interface is disclosed that includes: a plenum chamber; a first connection portion; a seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to seal with a region of the patient's face; a chassis; a second connection portion positioned on the chassis and configured to releasably connect to the first connection portion; a sealing lip to seal between the plenum chamber and the chassis; a positioning and stabilising structure; and a vent structure.

Abstract: A patient interface including a seal-forming structure with an elastomeric membrane that has at least one hole such that the flow of air at a therapeutic pressure is delivered to at least an entrance to the patients nares and/or an entrance to the patients mouth. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to maintain the therapeutic pressure in a cavity of a plenum chamber throughout the patients respiratory cycle, in use. The elastomeric membrane includes a first portion that is held in a relaxed state and a second portion that is held in a taut state. The elastomeric membrane is molded to include a three-dimensional shape that has multiple curvatures. The at least one hole includes an arch on a lateral side of the at least one hole, and is in a relaxed state before use. The arch is configured to move to a substantially taut state during use.
