CoughAssist In-Exsufflator

CoughAssist® In-Exsufflator

This cough assist device noninvasively helps clear bronchial secretions when conditions prevent or inhibit the natural cought reflex. The CoughAssist is a safe, comfortable way to reduce the risk of airway damage and respiratory complications. Helps by enhancing or replacing their natural removal of bronchial secretions with the gradual application of positive pressure to the airway followed by a rapid shift to negative pressure. The slow inhale/rapid exhale airflow simulates the natural coughing process while avoiding the potential problems associated with more invasive procedures.

Cough Assist is:

EFFICIENT – CoughAssist provides rapid exsufflation and high flows.
VERSATILE – for use by adult and pediatric patients at home or in a  hospital/institutional setting.
EFFECTIVE – better at removing bronchial mucous plugs than postural drainage, chest percussion or tracheal suctioning.
COMFORTABLE – CoughAssist provides a deep full breath then a rapid exhale flow, convenient alternative to oral or nasopharygeal suctioning, which is poorly tolerated by most patients.
