RespiClear mechanical in- and exsufflator cough assistant Cough-Assist

The mechanical insufflator and exsufflator RespiClear from Flo Medizintechnik supports the mobilisation of bronchial secretion.

Patients with a limited cough of less than 160 l/min are no longer able to cough up the secretion on their own, e.g. in the case of weakened or paralysed inspiratory muscles and expiratory muscles in the case of neuromuscular diseases.

RespiClear transports air volumes into the lungs by means of positive pressure. Once the desired target pressure is reached, the cough assistant switches from insufflation to exsufflation in > 0.1 sec. The negative pressure in the lungs causes the airways to contract, the cross-section is reduced and the flow increased. In order for the secretion to be transported upwards from the lungs, the flow must exceed 160 l/min.

Once the secretion has been transported upwards, the patient can remove the mask and eject the brochial secretion.
In invasive patients, the secretion usually reaches the tracheal cannula and must be directly aspirated.

With the RespiClear cough assistant, coughing up is supported effectively and gently thanks to the rapid switchover times provided by the patented valve technology. This reduces the risk of respiratory tract infections and atelectasis and makes it easier for the patient to breathe.
