Abstract:
A medical headgear fabric that includes, at least: (i) a skin-facing fabric layer; (ii) an outermost fabric layer; and (iii) a plastic or metal layer located between the fabric layers. Preferably these layers, as well as any additional layers that may be present in the fabric are thermoformed to form a substantially unitary fabric with at least a substantially laminate structure. Preferably, the fabric also includes a foam layer located between the fabric layers. Preferably, in embodiments with a layer (iii) of plastic, the plastic layer is in the form of a nylon, plastic strip. Preferably, in embodiments with a layer (iii) of metal, the metal layer is in the form of an aluminum strip.

Claim (Index 26):
A headgear to support a sleep apnea face mask on a patient, comprising:\n a thermoformed crown section configured to extend over a portion of the patient's head, the thermoformed crown section including:\n a first skin-facing fabric layer configured to contact the patient's skin; \n a first outer fabric layer; and \n at least one first foam layer located between the first skin-facing fabric layer and the first outer fabric layer, \n wherein the first skin-facing fabric layer, the first outer fabric layer and the at least one first foam layer are thermoformed together; and \n at least one thermoformed strap section connected to the crown section, each thermoformed strap section including:\n a second skin-facing fabric layer configured to contact the user's skin; \n a second outer fabric layer; and \n at least one second foam layer located between the second skin-facing fabric layer and the second outer fabric layer, \n wherein the second skin-facing fabric layer, the second outer fabric layer and the at least one second foam layer are thermoformed together, and \n wherein the at least one thermoformed strap section is configured to be attached to a sleep apnea face mask to support the face mask on the patient's face.
