NASAL PILLOWS CUSHION FOR PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009418 titled 'NASAL PILLOWS CUSHION FOR PATIENT INTERFACE DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a cushion designed for respiratory therapy, specifically for delivering breathing gas to a patient. The cushion includes a base with a main cavity and an aperture for receiving the flow of breathing gas. It also has a pair of nasal pillows that extend from the base, each with a cone-shaped head that tapers inward and upward from a base portion to a top opening. The heads are designed to engage the patient's nasal passages and have passages that convey the flow of breathing gas from the main cavity to the patient's nasal passage.

  • The cushion is designed for respiratory therapy and delivering breathing gas to a patient.
  • It includes a base with a main cavity and an aperture for receiving the flow of breathing gas.
  • The cushion has a pair of nasal pillows that extend from the base.
  • Each nasal pillow has a cone-shaped head that tapers inward and upward from a base portion to a top opening.
  • The heads of the nasal pillows engage the patient's nasal passages.
  • The heads also have passages that convey the flow of breathing gas from the main cavity to the patient's nasal passage.
  • The base portion of each nasal pillow has an inner edge near the center of the cushion that merges with the hollow base.
  • The opposite outer edge of each base portion is spaced upward from the outer surface of the hollow base.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Respiratory therapy for patients with breathing difficulties or respiratory conditions.
  • Sleep apnea treatment.
  • Oxygen therapy for patients with low oxygen levels.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a comfortable and effective way to deliver breathing gas to a patient's nasal passages.
  • Helps maintain a consistent flow of breathing gas during respiratory therapy.
  • Reduces discomfort and irritation in the nasal passages during therapy.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved patient comfort during respiratory therapy.
  • More efficient delivery of breathing gas to the patient's nasal passages.
  • Better control and regulation of the flow of breathing gas.
  • Reduced risk of nasal irritation and discomfort.


Original Abstract Submitted

a cushion for use in providing a regimen of respiratory therapy to a patient includes a base that defines a main cavity therein an aperture for receiving a flow of breathing gas. a pair of nasal pillows each extend from the base, each having a cone-shaped head that tapers inward and upward from a base portion, that extends directly from the base, to a top opening. each head is formed to engage an inner portion of a nare of the patient. each head defines a passage extending between the main cavity and the top opening for further conveying the flow of breathing gas from the main cavity to a nasal passage of the patient. each base portion includes an inner edge positioned near the center of the cushion that merges with the hollow base and an opposite outer edge spaced upward from an outer surface of the hollow base.
