CoughAssist T70 clears secretions from the lungs by gradually applying positive air pressure (insufflation) to the airway and then rapidly shifting to negative air pressure (exsufflation). This in-exsufflation shift in pressure creates a high expiratory flow that simulates a deep, natural cough. Instead of introducing a suction catheter into the airway, air is delivered noninvasively through a facemask, a mouthpiece, or through a simple adapter that allows the device to function with an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. As a result, the CoughAssist T70 is a gentle, comfortable way to remove secretions and is highly effective, keeping airways clear longer than trached suction and with fewer complications.Readily portable- Weighing less than 9 lbs., it is compact, lightweight and easy for patients to transport.Easy to use- Thanks to an enhanced user-friendly digital interface and preset prescriptions, setting inhale/exhale pressure and initiating therapy is simpler than ever.Comfort driven- Cough-Traks automatic sensitivity allows patients to initiate therapy and synchronize treatment with their own breathing pattern.
