Abstract
A respiratory support system having a patient interface attached to a headgear assembly for delivering a gas to a patient is disclosed. The headgear provides a rigid member and a pad held in place on the patient's head by straps. The rigid member functions to prevent creep of the straps, distribute the strapping forces, and minimized tangential strap forces that otherwise squeeze the sides of the patient's head.
