A patient interface for delivering breathable gas to a patient, the patient interface comprising: a nasal prong assembly including a pair of nasal prongs structured to sealingly communicate with nasal passages of a patient’s nose in use; and headgear to maintain the nasal prong assembly in a desired position on the patient’s face. The headgear includes first and second side straps (5055) and respective rigidizers (5055(3)) provided to respective side straps. Each rigidizer includes a first end portion (5055(1)) that provides a connector structured to engage a respective end of the nasal prong assembly and a second end portion (5055(2)) in the form of a protrusion that curves inwardly of the connector and forms a cheek support. The cheek support is adapted to follow the contour of the patient’s cheek and guide a respective end portion of the side strap into engagement with the patient’s cheek to provide a stable cheek support. |
