FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: patient interface is designed to supply gas to the patient and comprises a spacer element and a dielectric elastomeric actuator with a sensitive material for changing the pressure from the gasket element acting on the patient and/or the area on the patient, where pressure is applied by the spacer element in response to physical value acting on the sensitive material. The spacer element comprises a sensitive material or is attached to a sensitive material. The sensitive material is an electroactive polymeric material, a thermosensitive polymeric material, or a photosensitive polymeric material. A system for gas supply to the patient, a gasket element for use in the patient interface, and a method for prevention of formation of red traces caused by the patient interface are disclosed.
EFFECT: increased comfort with long wearing of the interface.
