A headgear for use with a respiratory mask is described. The headgear can include a continuous and substantially curved elongate member extending, in use, below a user's nose and at least two headgear straps capable of attachment to the ends of the elongate member. A mask attachment on the elongate member is disposed to sit below or on one of the user's nose, mouth, upper lip and an inlet to the mask. The attachment is capable of receiving the mask.

Breathing assistance apparatus

A patient interface has a single loop head strap and a mask for covering at least the nostrils of the user. The single loop head strap extends from the mask at either end. A short length of supple conduit is coupled to the mask by a swivel or ball joint to allow rotation of the conduit relative to the mask through different angles and orientations.

Frame with supporting arms and length adjustable strap

An interface for positive pressure therapy includes a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly. The headgear assembly includes a component formed from two layers of 3D fabric folded. The mask assembly includes a seal member that has an upper portion movably connected to an integrated lower portion, wherein the upper portion rolls during hinging movement of the upper portion relative to the lower portion. The headgear assembly allows connection to the mask assembly in a direction substantially normal to a direction of strap tension. The connection port assembly includes a swivel elbow with a valve member that controls flow through a port that opens toward the user. The valve member is provided with a tapered bead that helps prevent the valve member from sticking in a given position. Also, a connector for connecting a respiratory tube to an elbow connector.

Headgear for use with a patient interface

Patient interface cover

A patient interface can have a frame supporting a sealing member. Various features of the sealing member can improve comfort and sealing performance in the context of forming seals with the nares of a user, as well as contact with other facial surfaces. The sealing member can include convex portions, concave portions and thickness variations for providing various sealing, comfort, and deformability effects.

Patient interface and aspects thereof

Headgear

Interfaces for positive pressure therapy having a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly are disclosed herein. The connection port assembly has a ball joint connection with the mask assembly and includes a quick release button for easily disconnecting the gases source conduit from the mask assembly. The mask assembly may include a bias flow vent that is formed separately and attached to the mask assembly. The headgear assembly encircles the rear region of the user's head and may include at least some portions that are substantially non-stretchable.

Respiratory interface

Headgear for use with a respiratory mask can include a continuous and substantially curved elongate member extending in use below a user's nose and at least two headgear straps capable of attachment to the ends of the elongate member. A mask attachment on the elongate member is disposed to sit below or on one of said user's nose, mouth, upper lip and an inlet to the mask. The attachment is capable of receiving the mask.

Frame assembly of a patient interface

Breathing assistance apparatus for treating sleep apnoea can include nasal interfaces for the supply of respiratory gases, but most particularly positive pressure gases are described. The nasal interfaces may include various forms of nasal pillows or nasal plugs. Associated elements, such as manifolds or housings to hold or secure the pillows or plugs or headgear, can be included.

Patient interface frame assembly

An interface for positive pressure therapy includes a mask assembly, a headgear assembly and a connection port assembly. The mask assembly comprises a seal member that has an upper portion movably connected to an integrated lower portion, wherein the upper portion rolls during hinging movement of the upper portion relative to the lower portion. The headgear assembly allows connection to the mask assembly in a direction substantially normal to a direction of strap tension. The connection port assembly includes a swivel elbow with a valve member that controls flow through a port that opens toward the user.
