Abstract
A patient interface includes a cushion configured to sealingly engage the patient's face, a support structure configured to support the cushion, the support structure being more rigid than the cushion, a plenum chamber formed at least in part by the cushion, and a connector configured to convey the pressurized respiratory gas to the plenum chamber. The connector includes a first portion formed from a first material and adapted to removably connect to the support structure. A plurality of vent holes are formed on the first portion. The connector also includes a continuous flexible portion that is formed from a second material, is more flexible than the first portion, and is configured to flex to permit engagement and disengagement of the first portion. The continuous flexible portion comprises a pair of opposing release buttons that are configured to be inwardly flexed to allow release of the connector from the support structure.
