Abstract
A headgear for securing a patient interface to a patient's head includes a rear member and a pair of lower strap members. Each lower strap member is sized and configured to be positioned on a respective side of the head of the patient when the headgear arrangement is disposed on the head of the patient. Each lower strap member includes a free end that is selectively directly coupleable to the patient interface. The arrangement also includes a pair of strap management arrangements, with each arrangement positioned on a respective side of the headgear and structured to locate/hold the free end of a lower strap member of the pair of lower strap members in a predetermined location on the respective side of the head of the patient when the headgear is positioned on the head of the patient and the free end is not directly coupled to the patient interface.
