Abstract
A ventilation interface may include the following elements: a cushion, shell, forehead support, supply tubes, an adapter or Y-connector and a nasal cannula, which may also include nasal inserts, and connectors. Each of the elements of the ventilation interface may also include ribs of wire, stiffener or other bendable material having a greater rigidity than the material composing the main body of each element. These bendable portions may be capable of retaining multiple desired bent shapes in multiple desired directions.
