Securement arrangements for use in securing a patient interface to the skin of a patient include a substrate material having a first surface and an adhesive material disposed on the first surface. The locations of the adhesive material are varied so as to minimize repetitious adherence of the adhesive material to the patient during repeated applications.

Variable skin breathability adhesive arrangements for patient interfaces

A patient interface for use in delivering a flow of breathing gas to an airway of a patient. The patient interface includes a front portion and a rear portion coupled to the front portion. The front portion and the rear portion together define a cavity therebetween which is structured to receive the flow of breathing gas. The rear portion includes a support layer disposed directly adjacent the cavity, the support layer having a region having a plurality of first thru-holes structured to receive the flow of breathing gas from the cavity. The rear portion further includes a patient engaging layer structured to engage the patient at or about the airway of the patient, the patient engaging layer including at least a second thru-hole structured to receive the flow of breathing gas from the plurality of first thru-holes.

Multi-layers cushion assembly for a patient interface

An apparatus including a patient interface device formed from a flat substrate that is folded, wherein the patient interface device includes a plurality of seams where sections of the substrate are joined together, and wherein one or more of the plurality of seams form a shape that corresponds to a perimeter of a bottom side of a nose from a first alare corner of the nose to a tip of the nose to a second alare corner of the nose.
