20100229868 | PATIENT INTERFACE SYSTEMS - A headgear for positioning a patient interface structure for delivering a pressurized flow of breathable gas to the airways of a patient includes at least one flexible strap loop which is attachable to the patient interface structure by a forked region of the at least one strap loop that is mountable on the patient interface structure. The at least one strap loop positions the patient interface structure on the face of the patient. The forked region includes two forks adapted to be attached to an upper and lower portion on the patient interface structure. The two forks are connected by a bridge so that the forked region is divided into a first region and a second region, and the first region is mountable on the patient interface structure. An elbow for a patient interface system for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a first portion having a first end configured to be connected to the patient interface system; and a second portion having a second end configured to be connected to a tube that delivers the flow of breathable gas. An outer circumferential wall includes a plurality of perpendicular steps formed therein and a plurality of vent holes are provided perpendicular to the plurality of perpendicular steps. | 09-16-2010 |

20120152255 | PAP SYSTEM - Systems, devices and methods of use adapted for treatment of respiratory disease or sleep disordered breathing include a patient interface ( | 06-21-2012 |
20130152918 | PAP SYSTEM - A PAP system adapted for treatment of respiratory disease or sleep disordered breathing includes headgear adapted to engage a patient's head, a patient interface adapted to be secured to and sealed against a portion of a patient's face, in use, by the headgear, a flow generator adapted to be connected to the patient interface, and wherein the flow generator is adapted to be secured by a portion of the headgear to the patient's head, and an outlet tube to interconnect the flow generator and the patient interface. The patient interface includes a frame and a sealing arrangement supported by the frame. The sealing arrangement includes a seal portion, a body portion, and an inlet tube in communication with the outlet tube. The frame and the outlet tube are constructed of a relatively rigid material. | 06-20-2013 |
20130233316 | INTERCHANGEABLE MASK ASSEMBLY - A mask assembly adapted for use with a positive airway pressure device includes a mask frame, a cushion provided to the frame, a forehead support assembly, and a neck to connect the frame to the forehead support assembly. The neck includes at least one wall including a first edge and a second edge, wherein lower ends of the first edge and the second edge converge towards one another in an upward direction and upper ends of the first edge and second edge diverge from one another in an upward direction. The mask assembly is configured so that a relatively narrow portion of the neck overlies the bridge of the nose or is between the eyes of a user. The relatively narrow portion is a portion of the neck where a distance between the first edge and second edge is smallest. | 09-12-2013 |
20140053844 | PATIENT INTERFACE SYSTEMS - A headgear for use with a patient interface for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes at least a strap adapted to position the patient interface in sealing engagement with the patient's airways. The strap is constructed from an elastomer and a first side of the strap includes a first region on a portion of its surface that is textured to reduce friction with objects contacting the strap. A textured surface coating for a portion of an elastomer strap included in a headgear system is adapted to contact the skin of a patient, when in use, and the coating has a Ra value greater than zero. A vent for use with a patient interface for delivering a flow of breathable gas to a patient includes a plurality of rises and runs in a stepped arrangement; and a plurality of holes in the stepped arrangement for the venting of gas. | 02-27-2014 |
