PATIENT INTERFACE

The present invention relates to a patient interface for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a continuously positive pressure with respect to ambient air pressure to an entrance to a patient's airways including at least entrance of a patient's nares, wherein the patient interface is configured to maintain a therapy pressure in a range of about 4 cmH20 to about 30 cmH20 above ambient air pressure in use, throughout a patient's respiratory cycle, while the patient is sleeping, to ameliorate sleep disordered breathing; said patient interface comprising: a headgear including a pair of straps; a frame assembly including a shroud and a headgear connector operatively attachable to the headgear; a cushion assembly including a shell and a seal-forming structure provided to the shell and structured to form a seal with a patient's nose and/or mouth, the shell and the seal- forming structure cooperating to form a plenum chamber, the shell being constructed of a relatively rigid material and the seal-forming structure being constructed of a relatively flexible or pliable material, wherein the cushion assembly is structured to releasably connect to the shroud via a snap-fit connection;wherein the frame assembly includes an upper headgear connector structured to connect to the pair of straps, the upper headgear connector including a shroud connection portion connected to the shroud and a pair of headgear connector arms extending from respective sides of the shroud connection portion and structured to connect to respective headgear straps, each of the headgear connector arms including one or more flexible portions structured and arranged to conform to varying facial profiles.
