Patent number: 10363386Abstract: A patient interface device that includes a support member sized and configured to span at least a portion of a patient's face while remaining below the patient's eyes responsive to the patient interface device being donned by such a patient and a sealing assembly operatively coupled to the support member such that the support member is moveable relative to the support member. The support member defines a gas carrying conduit adapted to carry a flow of gas to the sealing assembly. The support member is a single-piece unitary member and includes a conduit coupling portion adapted to be coupled to a patient circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: RIC INVESTMENTS LLCInventors: Jerome Matula, Jr., Jason P.
