  • Publication number: 20220401682
    Abstract: A sealing interface forms part of an apparatus for supplying a flow of respiratory gases to a user. The sealing interface comprises a foam or gel inner cushion and a thin resilient rubber outer sheath. A face side of the inner cushion resiliently supports the outer sheath. The inner cushion has a toothed profile formed on the face side of the inner cushion. The toothed profile consists of at least one tooth having an apex on the perimeter of the inner cushion. The apex is positioned between two valleys in the perimeter of the inner cushion. In use the apex of each tooth of the toothed profile is in supporting contact with the outer sheath.

The lateral arms “twist” along their length, such that a bottom margin of an end of each lateral arm is positioned further away from a notional vertical plane passing through the centre of the conduit connection aperture than a top margin. Also provided is an anti-rotation feature which limits or prevents rotation between straps of a headgear, and the mask frame. Further provided is a buckle for a closed loop headgear the buckle being formed with a plurality of openings and posts configured to form an angled headgear strap path through the buckle through which part of a headgear strap loop can pass.
