Patient interface having wrap around fabric headgear

A patient interface device, comprising:

• a headgear component including an elongated fabric body member adapted to wrap around a head of a patient, the elongated fabric body member having a first end, a second end and a sealing interface region located between the first end and the second end, the sealing interface region having a hole extending through the elongated fabric body member;
• a mask component having a cushion;
• and
• a fluid coupling conduit fluidly coupled to the cushion, wherein at least a portion of the fluid coupling conduit extends through the hole and the sealing interface region covers at least a portion of the cushion, and wherein the cushion is adapted to be held and supported by the elongated fabric body member in engagement with a portion of the patient's face responsive to the patient interface device being donned by the patient by wrapping the elongated fabric body member around the head of the patient, wherein the elongated fabric body member comprises a tubular body member, wherein the tubular body member includes a rear surface and a front surface, wherein the hole is provided in the front surface, wherein a second hole is provided in the rear surface in the sealing interface region, wherein at least a portion of the mask component is held in between the rear surface and the front surface, and wherein at least a portion of the cushion extends outwardly through the second hole.

A patient interface device, comprising:

• a headgear component including an elongated fabric body member adapted to wrap around a head of a patient, the elongated fabric body member having a first end, a second end and a sealing interface region located between the first end and the second end, the sealing interface region having a hold extending through the elongated fabric body member;
• a mask component having a cushion;
• and
• a fluid coupling conduit fluidly coupled to the cushion, wherein at least a portion of the fluid coupling conduit extends through the hole and the sealing interface region covers at least a portion of the cushion, and wherein the cushion is adapted to be held and supported by the elongated fabric body member in engagement with a portion of the patient's face responsive to the patient interface device being donned by the patient by wrapping the elongated fabric body member around the head of the patient, wherein the elongated fabric body member includes a rear surface and a front surface, wherein the sealing interface region is located adjacent to the first end, wherein the second end includes a first fastening system component provided on the rear surface, wherein a second fastening system component is provided on the front surface adjacent to the sealing interface region, and wherein the second end is structured to cover the sealing interface region and the first fastening system component is structured to engage the second fastening system component when the elongated fabric body member is wrapped around the head of the patient, further comprising a plurality of vent holes in the second end and in the sealing interface portion.

A method of securing a patient interface device to a head of a patient, the patient interface device including a mask component having a cushion and a fluid coupling conduit fluidly coupled to the cushion, the method comprising:

• obtaining a headgear component including an elongated fabric body member adapted to wrap around the head of the patient, the elongated fabric body member having a first end, a second end and a sealing interface region located between the first end and the second end, the sealing interface region having a hole extending through the elongated fabric body member, wherein the elongated fabric body member includes a rear surface and a front surface, the headgear component further comprising a first stabilizing region provided on the rear surface adjacent to a first side of the sealing interface region, and a second stabilizing region provided on the rear surface adjacent to a second side of the sealing interface region opposite the first side, wherein the first and second stabilizing regions each comprise an elastomeric webbing;
• inserting a portion of the fluid coupling conduit through the hole such that the sealing interface region covers at least a portion of the cushion;
• positioning the cushion against a portion of the patient's face;
• and
• wrapping the elongated fabric body member around the head in a manner wherein the cushion is adapted to be held and supported by the elongated fabric body member in engagement with the portion of the patient's face.
