Modular CPAP Mask Assembly for Stable Nares and Mouth Sealing

The patent applies flexible materials throughout the mask structure, including the frame, cushions, and sealing portions. The flexible frame can flexibly accommodate facial contours while maintaining structural integrity, and the flexible cushions provide comfortable contact with the patient's face without causing dislodgment. This flexibility resolves the contradiction by eliminating the rigid frame while maintaining necessary structural strength through flexible material properties.

The mask employs composite construction combining flexible frame materials with soft sealing cushions and breathable fabrics. This composite approach allows different portions of the mask to have optimized properties - structural flexibility where needed and soft comfort where contacting the face, thereby achieving both strength and comfort without rigid components.

The mask system is designed as a universal, multi-functional device that can serve multiple purposes through reconfigurable components. The same mask can be used for nasal therapy, oral therapy, or combined therapy by adjusting the positioning and configuration of the cushion assembly and frame. This eliminates the need for multiple different mask systems while maintaining adaptability to various patient preferences and therapy requirements.

The mask incorporates dynamically adjustable components including reconfigurable cushion assemblies and adjustable frame elements that can be modified during use. This dynamic reconfigurability allows the mask to adapt between different therapy modes (nasal only, oral only, or combined) without requiring multiple separate mask systems, thereby reducing complexity while maintaining versatility.
