AI Technical Summary
Existing respiratory therapy devices and interfaces for treating respiratory disorders, such as Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Cheyne-Stokes Respiration, often suffer from discomfort, poor fit, and reduced compliance due to obtrusive designs, inadequate sealing, and difficulty in use.
A patient interface with a plenum chamber that is pressurizable to a therapeutic pressure of at least 6 cmH2O, featuring a dual seal-forming structure for the mouth and nose, and a vent structure to maintain pressure during the respiratory cycle, along with support portions to resist compression and improve fit.
The solution enhances patient compliance by providing a more comfortable and effective seal, reducing leaks and pressure disruptions, and accommodating various facial shapes and sizes, thus improving the efficacy of respiratory pressure therapy.
