acapella® DM & DH 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. Color-coded units (green for high-flow, blue
for low) help customize treatment for each patient based on their
clinical needs. You can adjust the acapella® frequency and flow
resistance simply by turning an adjustment dial.
