acapella® Choice Vibratory PEP Therapy System
Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy is used to mobilize
secretions. PEP devices have been found to give independence to patients
with chronic respiratory diseases as the therapy can be done when
convenient for the patient and without the need for an assistant.
acapella® combines the benefits of both PEP therapy and airway
vibrations to mobilize pulmonary secretions and can be used in virtually
any position allowing patients to move freely and sit, stand or
recline.
It improves clearance of secretions, is easier to tolerate than Chest Physical Therapy (CPT), takes less than half the time of conventional CPT sessions and facilitates opening of airways in patients with lung diseases with secretory problems such as COPD, asthma and Cystic Fibrosis. You can adjust the acapella® frequency and flow resistance simply by turning an adjustment dial.
acapella® Choice disassembles into four, easy-to-clean parts that withstand autoclaving, boiling, and dishwashing. Your patients get all the benefits of vibratory PEP therapy, in the home or hospital, with a convenient, easy-to-clean device (single patient use).
