A PATIENT INTERFACE FORMED FROM A TEXTILE CONSTRUCTION AND INCLUDING A STIFFENED PORTION TO PROVIDE FOR CUSTOMIZATION

The invention relates to a patient interface comprising a plenum chamber, a seal-forming structure, and a positioning and stabilizing structure, as well as the method of operating the patient interface. The patient's interface is configured to leave a patient's mouth uncovered or if the seal-forming structure is configured to seal around a patient's nose and mouth, the patient interface is configured to allow the patient to breath from the ambient in an absence of the flow of pressurized. The positioning and stabilizing structure includes headgear, and the seal-forming structure and at least a portion of the headgear is formed from a one piece construction of textile material. In another embodiment, the seal- forming structure and/or the positioning and stabilising structure includes an adaptive portion that adjusts based on usage conditions. In another embodiment, the positioning and stabilizing structure, the seal-forming structure and/or the plenum chamber includes and/or is formed of a textile material, and the textile material includes at least one magnetic thread constructed of magnetic material to provide a magnetic interaction between a first part of the patient interface and a second part of the patient interface. In another embodiment, a stiffener is coupled to the plenum chamber, the seal-forming structure, and/or the positioning and stabilizing structure. In another embodiment, at least one of the plenum chamber and the seal-forming structure includes a textile material; and wherein the textile material includes a surface structure that limits adhesion of debris. A UV cleaning receptacle of the patient interface is also disclosed. Selon l'invention, une interface patient comprend une chambre de distribution, une structure de formation de joint, et une structure de positionnement et de stabilisation. L'interface patient est conçue pour laisser la bouche du patient non couverte ou, si la structure de formation de joint est conçue pour assurer l'étanchéité autour de la bouche et du nez du patient, l'interface patient est conçue pour laisser le patient de respiré l'air environnant en absence de flux d'air pressurisé. La structure de positionnement et de stabilisation comprend une coiffe, et au moins une partie de la coiffe et de la structure de formation de joint est formée à partir d'une construction en une seule pièce d'un matériau textile. Dans un autre monde de réalisation, la structure de formation de joint et/ ou la structure de positionnemen
