Providing
Airway Secretion Clearance Treatment for Patients in Hospitals
and Clinics
As
patient care teams, RTs, nurses, and physicians strive to
speed patients to recovery and safe discharge, ridding lungs
of retained secretions is a critical
factor in attaining long-term lung health.
TheSmartVest® Airway
Clearance System provides effective High Frequency
Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO), also known as High Frequency
Chest Compression (HFCC), to assist in the airway secretion
clearance treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions,
from post-surgery atelectasis to chronic neuromuscular
diseases.
