Abstract
An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient includes a substrate material having a first surface that is structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface. The substrate material includes a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material. The adhesive arrangement further includes an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material. Each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
Claims15
An adhesive arrangement for use in securing a patient interface to the face of a patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material, wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
A patient interface assembly comprising:
- a patient interface for communicating a flow of a breathing gas to the airway of a patient;
- and
- an adhesive arrangement coupled to the patient interface for securing the patient interface to the face of the patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material, wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
An airway pressure support system comprising:
- a gas flow generator structured to generate a flow of breathing gas;
- a hose having a first end coupled to the gas flow generator and an opposite second end;
- and
- a patient interface assembly coupled to the second end of the hose which is structured to receive the flow of breathing gas communicated by the hose from the gas flow generator, wherein the patient interface assembly comprises:
- a patient interface for communicating a flow of a breathing gas to the airway of a patient;
- and
- an adhesive arrangement coupled to the patient interface for securing the patient interface to the face of the patient, the adhesive arrangement comprising:
- a substrate material having a first surface structured to face the patient and a second surface opposite the first surface, the substrate material having a number of tabs, each tab projecting outward from a main portion of the substrate material;
- and
- an adhesive material disposed on the first surface of the substrate material, wherein each of the tabs is sized and configured to be folded back onto a corresponding portion of the main portion of the substrate material and coupled thereto by the adhesive material.
