VEST
The VEST Airway Clearance System, Model 205
- The Vest® Airway Clearance System is designed to assist patients in the mobilization of retained secretions.
- If not removed, retained secretions may contribute to increased rates of respiratory infection, hospitalization, and reduced lung function.
- Through High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation technology, The Vest® Airway Clearance System dislodges mucus from the bronchial walls, and mobilizes secretions and mucus from the smaller to larger airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suctioning.
- Who can benefit from The Vest® Airway Clearance System?
- Patients who have evidence or a suggestion of retained secretions. Patients who have difficulty with secretion clearance, or presence of atelectasis caused by mucus plugging.
