Publication number: 20090277452Abstract: A mask system for use between a patient and a device to deliver a breathable gas to the patient includes a mouth cushion, a pair of nasal prongs, an elbow, and a headgear assembly. The mouth cushion is structured to sealingly engage around an exterior of a patient's mouth in use, and the pair of nasal prongs are structured to sealingly communicate with nasal passages of a patient's nose in use. The elbow delivers breathable gas to the patient. The headgear assembly maintains the mouth cushion and the nasal prongs in a desired position on the patient's face. The headgear assembly provides a substantially round crown strap that cups the parietal bone and occipital bone of the patient's head in use.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2006Publication date: November 12, 2009Inventors: Steven John Lubke, Gregory Scott Smart, Rupert Christian Scheiner, Alison Oldenburg, James William Charles Vandyke, Chritopher Scott Skipper, Michael John Reid, Timothy Shawn Nelson, Philip Rodney Kwok, Karthikeyan Selvarajan

Publication number: 20090044808Abstract: A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient includes a nasal prong assembly including a pair of nasal prongs structured to sealingly communicate with nasal passages of a patient's nose in use and headgear to maintain the nasal prong assembly in a desired position on the patient's face. The headgear includes side straps and rigidizers provided to respective side straps. Each rigidizer includes a first end portion that provides a connector structured to engage a respective end of the nasal prong assembly and an inwardly curved protrusion in the form of a cheek support that curves inwardly of the connector. The cheek support is adapted to follow the contour of the patient's cheek and guide a respective end portion of the side strap into engagement with the patient's cheek to provide a stable cheek support.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2008Publication date: February 19, 2009Applicant: ResMed LimitedInventors: Memduh Guney, Rupert Christian Scheiner, David Anthony Pidcock, Gerard Michael Rummery, Matthew Eves, Craig David Edwards, Melanie Lucia Cariola, Muditha Pradeep Dantanarayana, Michael Chen, Christopher Scott Skipper, Karthikeyan Selvarajan, Steven John Lubke, Bruce David Gregory, Joel Edward Gibson, Andrew David Cameron, Philip Rodney Kwok
