Mask assembly

A nasal mask assembly for providing respiratory therapy to a patient, the nasal mask assembly comprising:

• a nasal interface configured to deliver a flow of pressurized breathable gas to the patient, the nasal interface comprising:
• a pair of nasal inserts to be inserted into the nares of the patient;
• an inlet through which the pressurized breathable gas is received;
• a nasal interface body with one or more surfaces defining one or more fluid passageways from the inlet to the pair of nasal inserts, wherein the nasal interface body includes (i) a flexible member and (ii) a frame, wherein the flexible member includes:
• a first surface configured to contact an upper lip portion of a patient's face, the first surface extending laterally along a width dimension,
• a second surface extending from the first surface and configured to face an underside of the patient's nostrils, the nasal inserts extending from the second surface, and
• a third surface connected to and extending between the first surface and the second surface, the third surface forming a loop with the first surface and the second surface about an axis extending along the width dimension;
• wherein the frame includes:
• a main body configured to be inserted into and retained within the loop of the flexible member, wherein the main body includes an outlet that is configured to form a seal with an interior of the flexible member to thereby provide the one or more fluid passageways when the main body is inserted into and retained by the loop of the flexible member;
• a left lateral headgear connector extending from a left lateral side of the nasal interface;
• and
• a right lateral headgear connector extending from a right lateral side of the nasal interface;
• a conduit to provide the flow of pressurized breathable gas to the nasal interface, the conduit including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to a supply of pressurized breathable gas and the second end being connected to the inlet of the nasal interface;
• a headgear assembly to position the nasal interface below the patient's nares, the headgear assembly comprising a plurality of headgear straps that include at least:
• a left headgear strap that is configured to connect to the left lateral headgear connector;
• and
• a right headgear strap that is configured to connect to the right lateral headgear connector;
• and
• a conduit clip configured to be attached to a selected headgear strap from the plurality of headgear straps, the conduit clip including one or more curved retaining surfaces that extend outward from the selected strap, the one or more curved retaining surfaces being contoured to wrap at least partially around and retain the conduit adjacent to the selected headgear strap, wherein the conduit is connected to the conduit clip and maintained adjacent to the selected headgear strap at a location between the first end and the second end of the conduit.
