Abstract: A patient interface for delivery of a flow of pressurised air to an entrance of a patient's airways includes a mask with a seal-forming structure and one or more positioning and stabilising structures to provide a force to hold the mask in a therapeutically effective position on the patient's head. The patient interface may also include more than one connection port arranged to receive an end of an air circuit for delivering the flow of pressurised air to the seal-forming structure. The patient may connect the air circuit to a connection port of choice, depending on whether it is desired to have the end of the air circuit positioned superior to the patient's otobasion superior or inferior to the patient's otobasion superior.

Abstract: A patient interface is configured to deliver a flow of positive pressure respiratory gas to an entrance of a patients airways. The patient interface includes an elastomeric support wall forming at least part of a plenum chamber configured to receive the flow of positive pressure respiratory gas. The patient interface also includes an elastomeric support flange positioned at an end of the elastomeric support wall and extending radially inward from the support wall. The support flange has a flap portion at a central superior region of the support flange that extends further in the radially inward direction than the rest of the support flange. In addition, a foam cushion is mounted on the support flange. The foam cushion is configured to form a seal with the patients face and includes an attachment surface that is in contact with an outer surface of the support flange.

Abstract: A patient interface including a vent structure that allows a continuous flow of gases exhaled by the patient from an interior of a nasal plenum chamber to the ambient. The vent structure is sized and shaped to maintain the therapeutic pressure in the nasal plenum chamber in use. The vent structure includes a housing secured to the nasal plenum chamber, and a vent wall coupled to the rigid housing and selectively movable between a closed position and an open position. The vent wall is biased toward the closed position. The vent wall is maintained in the closed position and is configured to be positioned in the open position as a result of contact with an oral cushion in order to accommodate the oral cushion with an oral plenum chamber and form an oro-nasal cushion.

Abstract: A patient interface includes a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilizing structure. The plenum chamber is pressurisable to a therapeutic pressure. The seal-forming structure is constructed and arranged to seal with a region of a patient's face surrounding an entrance to a patient's airways. The seal-forming structure maintains the therapeutic pressure in the plenum chamber throughout a patient's respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilizing structure holds the seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a patient's head. The patient interface allows the patient to breathe from ambient in the absence of a flow of pressurised air. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear, and at least a portion of the headgear and the seal forming structure is formed from a one piece construction of textile material.

In another embodiment, the seal-forming structure and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure includes an adaptive portion that adjusts based on usage conditions.

Abstract: A manufactured component, such as headgear or a headgear strap, for a patient interface for delivery of pressurised air or breathable gas to an entrance of a patient's airways may include a textile portion having a first material with a first melting point. It may also include a plastic portion over-moulded to the textile portion. The plastic portion may be formed of a second material having a second melting point. The melting points may be different such that the second melting point is chosen to be less than the first melting point of the first material. The component may be moulded in a multi-step process that moulds separate portions of the plastic portion and the textile portion at different times. The resulting plastic portion may then have a mechanical bond with the textile and may do so without significant chemical bonding between the plastic portion and the textile.
