This invention relates to a patient interface and component parts which may be integrated or form a part of an assembled interface for use by a user. In various embodiments, the component parts may include: a component may be provided as a clip for supporting a gas supply tube to the interface; a buckle may be provided at an end of a headgear strap for releasable attachment to the interface; a manifold part of a patient interface may be attachable to the interface in a manner allowing for adjustment or re-orientation such that an associated gas supply conduit is re-routed to be to a left- or a right-side of the interface (or user); one or a pair of support side arms of the interface may be configured to be twisted or bent so as to more comfortably accommodate the shape of a user's face upon which they are to be located in use; parts of a manifold at the connection of a gas supply tube to the interface may be configured to be of a multi-part manifold assembly.

Patient interface and component parts

Respiratory system conduit with connector

Unit end connector

Connector

A connector and tubing combination includes a tubing segment with an end piece, such as a tubing flange. The tubing flange can be secured within the connector by an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve of the connector. Both of the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are located outside of the tubing flange and the tubing segment. In addition, the inner sleeve, outer sleeve and the tubing flange are mechanically connected.

Apparatus and method for providing gases to a user

Patient interface connector

Nasal cannula assembly

Nasal cannula assemblies for providing respiratory therapy to patients are provided. A nasal cannula assembly can include a cannula, an optional manifold which may be removable, a gas supply tube, and a securement mechanism. Securement mechanisms can include headgear straps, cheek pads, or an adhesive nose strip. A nasal cannula assembly can also include a lanyard, lanyard clip, and/or lanyard connector to help support the weight of a main gas delivery conduit.

Nasal cannula assemblies and related parts

Nasal cannulas for providing respiratory therapy to patients can have a body, two prongs extending from the body, and a gases inlet on one side of the body. There can be a throttle or internal localized reduction in the cross-sectional area of a cavity defined by the internal walls of the cannula body in between the prongs. In at least some arrangements, the throttle can partially or substantially fully equalize flow between the prongs of the cannula.

Nasal cannula with flow restrictor

Medical breathing tubes have a tubular body that defines a lumen extending between open terminal ends of the tubular body. An internal form is enclosed within the lumen and supportive of the tubular body. The internal form may be a coated encapsulated internal form where the coating secures the internal form to the tubular body. The internal form may provide for a series of alternative crests and troughs of the tubular body. A patient interface and/or a securement system may be attached to the tubular body.
