Patient interface

A fixation structure for securing a patient interface on a patient's face, the fixation structure comprising:

• a body comprising opposed first and second regions, the first region comprising an adhesive configured to adhere to a first portion of the patient's face, the second region being an interface-facing region;
• a first separable extension extending from a first edge of the body and having a first side and an opposing second side, the first side comprising a first fastener to attach to a complementary second fastener of the patient interface;
• a second separable extension extending from a second edge of the body, wherein the second edge is opposite of the first edge of the body, the second separable extension having a first side and an opposing second side, the first side comprising a first fastener to attach to a complementary second fastener of the patient interface,
• wherein one of the first or second separable extension is adapted to secure a tube, by folding the first or second separable extension over the tube and adhering the second side of the first or second separable extension to the interface-facing region of the body,
• wherein when the one of the first or second separable extension is overlapped with the body, the first fastener is configured to face outward from the patient's face,
• wherein the one of the first or second separable extension is attached to the body via a breakable region at the edge of the body at a fold between the body and the one of the first or second separable extension,
• wherein the one of the first or second separable extension is configured to separate from the body at the breakable region in response to a force applied to the fixation structure by the tube in a direction non-parallel to a longitudinal axis defined by the tube, enabling the tube to be separated from the body while maintaining the fixation structure and the patient interface in place on the patient's face,
• wherein the other of the first or second separable extension is configured to be separated from the body, the first side of the other of the first or second separable extension being configured to attach to the patient interface and the second side of the other of the first or second separable extension being configured to contact a second portion of the patient's face separate from the first portion of the patient's face after separation of the other of the first or second separable extension from the body.
