The Vest™ Airway Clearance System is designed to assist patients in the mobilisation of retained secretions. If not removed, retained secretions may contribute to increased rates of respiratory infection, hospitalisation and reduced lung function.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Through High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) technology, The Vest™ Airway Clearance System dislodges mucus from the bronchial walls, and mobilises secretions and mucus from the smaller to larger airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.
The Vest™ has been used to assist with effective airway clearance in more than 500 diseases and conditions in adults and children.
The Vest™ is ideal for people experiencing:
Cerebral Palsy.
Cystic Fibrosis.
