Abstract
A seal-forming structure constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face is disclosed. The seal-forming structure may be constructed from a soft, flexible, resilient material, may comprise an exterior surface and an interior surface opposite the exterior surface, and the exterior surface may include a patient-contacting region configured to engage and seal against the patient's facial skin. A posterior opening may be formed in the seal-forming structure at the patient-contacting region such that during use a flow of air at said therapeutic pressure is directed through the posterior opening and into the patient's nares. The seal-forming structure may include a support structure joined to an edge of the posterior opening and to the interior surface of the seal-forming structure such that an interior surface of the support structure and the interior surface of the seal-forming structure form a continuous loop.
