Nasal interface and system including ventilation insert
First Claim
1. A ventilation interface configured to be inserted into a nares of a user to secure the interface, comprising:
- a cannula with at least one nasal insert and at least one exhaust port;
the cannula forming a first portion of an input gas flow passage to supply the ventilation gas;
the nasal insert configured to be inserted into a first naris of the nares of the user, the nasal insert forming second and third portions of the input gas flow passage from the cannula to a distal end of the nasal insert;
a seal portion configured to engage at least a portion of the nares, the seal portion being provided on the distal end of the at least one nasal insert; and

Abstract
A ventilation or CPAP interface system adapted to be inserted into a nares of a user to secure the interface. A cannula adapted to be connected to a source of ventilation gas forms a first portion of an input gas flow passage to supply the ventilation gas to the user. A nasal insert adapted to be inserted the nares of the user forms a second portion of the input gas flow passage from the cannula to a distal end of the nasal insert. A seal portion adapted to engage a portion of the first naris is provided adjacent the distal end of the nasal insert. Ventilation interface system may optionally include feed tubes, y-connector, tube holder, headgear and a headgear flange.
