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 system for aligning a patient interface for use in delivering a flow of a breathing gas to the airway of a patient with an adhesive arrangement that is structured to secure the patient interface to the patient. The system includes a base that is structured to be disposed on a surface, the base having a central member protruding upward from the base to a contoured surface. The central member includes a pair of protruding alignment elements that extend further upward from the contoured surface and which are sized and structured to engage apertures in both of the adhesive arrangement and the patient interface in a manner which aligns such components with each other.

Adhesive alignment system for patient interfaces

An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient includes a substrate material having a first surface that is structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface. The substrate material includes a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material. The adhesive arrangement further includes an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material. Each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
