PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nose mask for breathing which can supply positive pressure air for a patient suffering from the sleep apnea syndrome without causing pain or discomfort, and without much gas leakage from the interface between the mask and the patient's face. SOLUTION: This nose mask 1 for breathing for supplying positive pressure gas to a user's nose has a thin film to cover the surface of the user's nose. The thin film has a hole 2 for sending positive pressure gas for breathing into the user's nostrils and a dent at the center on the user's side. In addition, an elastic body for supporting the mask may be attached on the surface of the thin film opposite to the user's side on the side wall part of the mask. The elastic body is so shaped that it can be easily rolled inward when the user wearing the mask pushes his/her face into the elastic body. |
