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: Packaging for a patient interface comprises: a plurality of panels arranged to be folded inwardly to define a housing for the patient interface, the plurality of panels comprising a pair of opposed side panels and a pair of opposed end panels; and a panel-retaining structure that is arranged to prevent outward collapse of the panels such that the patient interface is held in a compressed state; wherein at least one of the panels comprises at least one patient interface retaining feature that is attachable to the patient interface; and wherein the panel-retaining structure is releasable to cause the patient interface in the compressed state to urge one or more of the panels outwardly, to thereby enable display of the patient interface in a substantially in-use configuration.

Abstract: Forms of the present technology relate to an assembly apparatus for applying an adhesive layer to a patient interface for use in delivering breathable gas to a patient. The assembly apparatus, which may be portable, may comprise a first assembly component comprising a first receiving region configured to receive at least a portion of the patient interface, and a second assembly component comprising a second receiving region configured to receive at least a portion of the adhesive layer. The first assembly component may be configured to engage with the second assembly component to position the first receiving region adjacent to the second receiving region to apply the adhesive layer to a seal-forming structure of the patient interface to form an assembled patient interface. The adhesive layer may be configured to adhere the assembled patient interface to the patient's face.
