Abstract

cushion assembly for a patient interface includes an elastomeric seal-forming portion. The seal forming portion includes a region for sealing against the nasal bridge (3180A) and a region for sealing against the chin of a patient (3180G) which have similar thicknesses. A region of seal forming structure between nasal bridge and chin regions (3180E) provides support for the mask and is thicker. A flap (3180H) engages a side portion of the nose, and a loop extends from the seal forming portion (at 3110) to prevent the edge of the mask from blowing out. Various aspects of shape, thickness and blow out preventing structures for patient interfaces are also disclosed.

Claims (10)

1. A cushion assembly for a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance to a patient's airways including at least entrance of the patient's nares, wherein the patient interface is configured to maintain a therapy pressure in a range of about 4 cmH2O to about 30 cmH2O above ambient air pressure in use, throughout the patient's respiratory cycle, while the patient is sleeping, to ameliorate sleep disordered breathing, the cushion assembly comprising: an elastomeric seal-forming structure with a central opening, the elastomeric seal- forming structure being shaped to be bisected by a sagittal plane that has a line that is tangent to the elastomeric seal-forming structure at a superior tangent point and at an inferior tangent point, the elastomeric seal-forming structure comprising a loop structure with a first end and a second end, wherein a nasal bridge region of the elastomeric seal-forming structure straddles the sagittal plane in the vicinity of the superior tangent point and is configured to seal against the patient's nasal bridge when the cushion is mounted on the patient's face, wherein a chin region of the elastomeric seal-forming structure straddles the sagittal plane and includes the inferior tangent point, the chin region being configured to engage the patient's chin when the cushion is mounted on the patient's face, the wall thickness of the seal-forming structure in the chin region being the same as the wall thickness in a portion of the nasal bridge region, wherein a first support region of the seal-forming structure extends from the chin region to the nasal bridge region, the wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure being consistent in the first support region and being thicker than the wall thickness in the nasal bridge and chin regions, wherein a flap portion of the seal-forming structure is configured to engage a side of an upper portion of the patient's nose and is bounded by the nasal bridge region and is between the first support region and the central opening, the wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure in the flap portion being less than the wall thickness in the first support region, and wherein the first end of the loop structure extends from a location between the first support region and the central opening.
2. The cushion assembly of claim 1, wherein a second support region of the elastomeric seal-forming structure is located between the central opening and the first support region, the wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure in the second support region being less than the wall thickness in the first support region.
3. The cushion assembly of claim 2, wherein the wall thickness in the second support region increases toward the first support region.
4. The cushion assembly of any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure in the flap portion is greater than the wall thickness in the nasal bridge region.
5. The cushion assembly of any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the flap portion is located between the nasal bridge region and the chin region.
6. The cushion assembly of any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the flap portion is located between the first end of the loop structure and the central opening.
7. The cushion assembly of any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the flap portion is configured to move independently of the loop structure.
8. The cushion assembly of any one of claims 1 to 7, further comprising a shell that is more rigid than the elastomeric seal-forming structure and is attached to an anterior side of the elastomeric seal-forming structure.
9. A patient interface comprising: the cushion assembly of claim 8; and a positioning and stabilizing structure removably attached to the shell.
10. A CPAP system comprising: the patient interface according to claim 9; a flow generator configured to pressurize a flow of gas; and an air delivery tube configured to deliver the pressurized gas to the patient interface.
