A method of preparing an inflatable pad for a face mask in which a former (3) is coated with a curable composition which is cured to provide an elastic air-impermeable sheath (4) of rubber or like polymer which does not adhere to the former, thereby defining an inflation chamber. The former comprises a sheet of flexible material, e.g. polymer foam and remains within the pad in use thereby avoiding the conventional operations of slitting the air-impermeable sheath, removing the former and resealing the air-impermeable sheath. |
