Pneuvest PV-100
The PneuVest airway clearance system has been proven to benefit patients in the removal of
mucus which has been retained due to acute and chronic respiratory conditions. It is safer and
more effective than traditional techniques such as chest physical therapy (CPT), hand percussion,
etc. and more effective than conventional vibrating mucus removal devices.
How does it work?
High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) is a technology that dislodges mucus from the bronchial walls and mobilises secretions and mucus from the smaller to larger airways where it can be cleared by coughing or suction. It generates high frequency air pulses and delivers them to the chest wall via a vest.
Safe, Effective, Efficient
Safe: Compared with such traditional techniques as chest physical therapy (CPT), hand percussion, etc., HFCWO is much safer as it uses gentle air pulse compression and does not cause physical injuries to ribs and muscles.
Effective: HFCWO can mobilise mucus deeply seated in the lower airways. Clinical evidence has shown that HFCWO is:
- more effective than conventional vibrating mucus removal devices
- three times more effective than CPT.
Efficient: Unlike other techniques which are performed manually by a nurse or a physiotherapist, HFCWO is a highly automated system, requiring minimal medical staff presence.
HFCWO has been proven to optimise human resources.
