ABSTRACT:
An oral respiratory mouth mask for breath-by-breath ventilatory measurements on humans constructed of silicone or like material. The mouth mask has a curved face sealing flange adapted to sealably engage the user's skin about the mouth and nose including an internal mouth-enclosing chamber having a relatively small dead space within the mask for improved accuracy in ventilatory and metabolism measurements. A direction airflow tubing assembly secured to and in flow communication with the mouth-enclosing chamber operates to effectively direct exhalation products and inhaled air while producing minimum restrictions to normal airflow. The mask is held in a sealed position about a user's mouth by a securing assembly comprising a flexible skull cap, adjustable elastic straps and quick connect fasteners which cooperate with pendulatory eccentric buttons integrally formed on the outer surface of the face mask.
