More Information
Summary:A device for controlling air flow out of a patient's mouth while receiving a flow of pressurized air through the patient's nares is disclosed. The device may include: a flexible portion configured to leave the patient's nose uncovered during use; a support portion; a pair of connectors; and a positioning and stabilizing structure including a strap configured to be connected to each of the connectors. The device may also include a valve to allow the patient to orally inhale ambient air in the absence of the flow of pressurized air and a vent configured to allow a flow of air to pass to ambient continuously, or the device may also include a porous structure covering the air flow hole to restrict air flow into and out of the device during use, the flexible portion having a thickness to offset the porous structure from the contacting surface in an anterior direction.
