Abstract:
A patient interface structure for delivery of respiratory therapy to a patient includes a front plate configured to conform to the shape of the patient's face; a mouth cushion defining a breathing chamber and provided to the front plate and configured to seal around the patient's mouth; and a nasal cushion configured to seal the patient's nasal airways. The nasal cushion is supported by the mouth cushion, does not contact a bridge of the patient's nose in use, and extends at least partially into the breathing chamber. A patient interface system includes a patient interface structure and a patient interface structure positioning system configured to position, stabilize and secure the patient interface structure in sealing engagement with the patient's face.

Claim (Index 21):
A mask system for respiratory therapy involving delivery of pressurized air to a patient, the mask system comprising:\n a patient interface shaped to form a seal with both a mouth of the patient and nasal airways of the patient without contacting a nasal bridge of the patient, including:\n a flexible cushion shaped to form a seal with (i) the nasal airways using a nasal seal portion of the cushion, and (ii) the mouth of the patient using a mouth seal portion of the cushion, the nasal seal portion of the cushion and the mouth seal portion of the cushion comprising a same flexible material, the nasal seal portion of the cushion shaped to form a seal with the nasal airways at a portion of a nose of the patient that surrounds nares of the patient under the nose of the patient, \n a front plate that has a greater rigidity than the flexible cushion and that is co-molded with the cushion at a front portion of the cushion opposite from a face-contacting portion of the cushion, the front plate and the cushion defining a breathing chamber, and \n a first headgear connector on a first side of the patient interface at which a first ear of the patient is located, the first side being located between a top of the patient interface proximate the nose of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient and a bottom of the patient interface proximate a chin of the patient when the mask system is worn by the patient; \n a second headgear connector on a second side of the patient interface at which a second ear of the patient is located, the second side opposing the first side; and \n headgear shaped to secure the patient interface on a head of the patient in sealing engagement with the mouth and the nasal airways, the headgear adapted to connect to the first headgear connector and the second headgear connector.
