Embodiment Construction

[0025] The exemplary device consists of a neck mask 1 , a suction hose 2 and a suction pump 3 . The neck mask 1 is a half-open chamber which is stretched over the front (frontal) neck region in the shape of a dome. The edge of the neck mask 1 delimits, with a loop, the region starting from the jaw along both sides of the mandible to the neck side and from there back down to the upper end of the sternum. A sealing device 6 is provided along the loop, which adheres to the skin in the state of use. In this way, the open side of the neck mask is closed by the patient's skin, forming a closed cavity 7 .

[0026] The surface of the neck mask is made such that it is rigid in a direction perpendicular to its surface, but flexible in the direction of extension of the surface. This allows the surface of the neck mask to expand and contract when the head is pitched, and to twist sideways when the head is rotated. This performance is achieved in the present embodiment by the fact that ...

Abstract

In order to treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea, the inner respiratory tract is subjected to atmospheric pressure and the outer surrounding area of the respiratory tract is subjected to artificial low-pressure, the difference between the inner atmospheric pressure and the outer low-pressure remaining constant. The respiratory therapy device consists of a pressure stable hollow body which surrounds the human body while keeping free the natural respiratory opening. Set hollow body forms the low-pressure chamber ( 7 ) is connected to a suction pump ( 3 ) by a suction tube ( 2 ). The invention method and respiratory therapy device make it possible to breathe in a free atmosphere.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a breathing therapeutic apparatus for keeping the natural airway of the human body unblocked, which is composed of a pump for generating continuous negative pressure and an input tube. This machine is used to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Another role is to prevent snoring. Background technique [0002] So-called CPAP devices (CPAP=Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) are known for generating a positive airway pressure for respiratory therapy, as described, for example, in US Pat. No. 5,655,522. This device provides breathing air inside a mask. The pressure of this air is continuously raised by several hundred Pascals (hPa) relative to atmospheric pressure. If the patient breathes in this artificial atmosphere, his airways open sufficiently to allow breathing due to the positive relative pressure. The CPAP device therefore only acts as a "pneumatic upper support" for the airway. The breathing process itself is still entir...
