Abstract

A flexible connector that couples a delivery conduit (14) to a patient interface device (20) and a pressure support system (5) that includes such a flexible connector. The flexible connector of the present invention prevents disruption of the seal between the patient interface (20) and the patient's face. The flexible connector may have a bellows portion with a longitudinally directed portion, a narrowed neck portion, or a plurality of corrugations. The flexible connector may further have a swivel portion and/or an exhaust member, and/or a hinge member.
