Title:
厚さが変化するシール形成構造を備えた患者インターフェース
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6918803
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cushion assembly for a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance to a patient's airways including at least entrance of the patient's nares, wherein the patient interface is configured to maintain a therapy pressure in a range of about 4 cmH20 to about 30 cmH20 above ambient air pressure in use, throughout the patient's respiratory cycle, while the patient is sleeping, to ameliorate sleep disordered breathing, the cushion assembly comprising: an elastomeric seal-forming structure that is shaped to be bisected by a sagittal plane having a line that is tangent to the elastomeric seal-forming structure at a superior tangent point and at an inferior tangent point, wherein a curvature of the elastomeric seal-forming structure is saddle shaped in a saddle-shaped superior region that straddles the sagittal plane and includes the superior tangent point, wherein the curvature of the elastomeric seal-forming structure transitions in a superior transition region from the saddle shape in the saddle-shaped superior region to a dome shape in a dome-shaped superior region that is offset from the sagittal plane, wherein the curvature of the elastomeric seal-forming structure in the superior transition region is cylindrical, and wherein an elastomeric wall thickness of the elastomeric seal-forming structure is greater in the superior transition region than in the saddle-shaped superior region and the dome-shaped superior region.
