The invention also relates to interface devices for use in delivering a flow of breathing gas to the airway of a patient. The invention also relates to frames for such patient interface devices. Background technique [0004] There are many situations where it is necessary or desirable to deliver a flow of breathing gas to a patient's airway in a non-invasive manner (ie, without intubating the patient or surgically inserting an endotracheal tube into the patient's esophagus). For example, it is known to ventilate a patient using a technique known as non-invasive ventilat...
