Abstract: A positioning and stabilising structure for a patient interface comprises: a headband formed at least partly from a textile material and having an upper textile portion movably connected to a first lower textile portion, the headband comprising one or more sensors provided in or on the upper textile portion and/or the first lower textile portion; wherein the headband is wearable on a patient's head in a first configuration in which the first lower textile portion is adjacent to the upper textile portion, and a second configuration in which the first lower textile portion is separated from the upper textile portion and provides a force to hold a seal-forming structure of the patient interface in a therapeutically effective position on the patients head.

Abstract: A headgear includes a pair of noise reduction components. Each noise reduction component is configured to fit over and/or at least partially inside respective ears of a user of the headgear. The pair of noise reduction components are coupled to a first strap. The first strap is configured to retain the pair of noise-reduction components in contact with the ears of the user. Each noise reduction component of the pair of noise reduction components includes a laminated structure that includes at least one sound-reflecting layer, and at least one sound-absorbing layer that is arranged to be closer to the ear of the user than the at least one sound-reflecting layer.

Abstract: A patient interface includes a positioning and stabilising structure having a knitted headgear strap comprising physical properties and/or characteristics that vary across the headgear strap. The entire headgear strap or portions thereof may be knitted as a single piece of material directly into its final shape. The variations in physical properties and/or characteristics may be provided by different knit structures and/or textile compositions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a patient interface comprising a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilizing structure, as well as the method of operating the patient interface. The patient's interface is configured to leave a patient's mouth uncovered or if the seal-forming structure is configured to seal around a patient's nose and mouth, the patient interface is configured to allow the patient to breath from the ambient in an absence of the flow of pressurized. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear, and the seal-forming structure and at least a portion of the headgear 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 head-mounted display system includes a head mounted display unit with a display and a positioning and stabilising structure configured to hold the head-mounted display unit in an operable position on the user's head in use. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear with at least one strap configured to contact the user's head, in use. The head mounted display unit and at least a portion of the positioning and stabilizing structure are formed from a one piece construction of textile material.

Abstract: A positioning and stabilising structure for a full-face mask of a patient interface comprises a superior strap portion, an inferior strap portion, and two anterior strap portions. Each anterior strap portion having a generally triangular surface with a first width and a second width that is less than the first width and disposed more anterior while in use. The superior strap portion and the inferior strap portion are each connected to or formed integrally with each anterior strap portion at a respective corner of the generally triangular surface. Each anterior strap portion is connected or connectable to a connection portion that engages the plenum chamber. The connection portion is releasably engageable from the plenum chamber. The superior strap portion and the inferior strap portion are joined to the anterior strap portions anterior to the patient's ears, when in use.

Abstract: Systems and methods producing a customised patient respiratory interface are disclosed. Data representative of one or more landmark features of a head of a human is obtained. One or more landmark feature locations of the landmark features are identified based on the data. A set of manufacturing specifications for production of the patient respiratory interface component is determined based on the one or more landmark feature locations. The patient respiratory interface component is produced based on the set of manufacturing specifications.

Abstract: A patient interface includes a positioning and stabilising structure having headgear comprising a ring strap portion with a superior portion configured to overlay the parietal bones of the patient's head in use and an inferior portion configured to overlay or lie inferior to the occipital bone of the patient's head in use. The ring strap portion defines a loop having a pair of upper strap portions configured to connect between the ring strap portion and a cushion assembly in use on a respective side of the patient's head superior to an otobasion superior. The headgear may comprise a rigidised portion. The headgear may be integrally formed by flat knitting and the strap portions may include blind guides to provide tactile indications of the locations of fastening portions.
