Experience effortless breathing with the Smiths Medical Acapella® Choice Mucus Clearance Device, a user-friendly solution that eliminates the need for Chest Physical Therapy (CPT) sessions. Instead of dedicating 20 to 30 minutes to CPT, Smiths Medical offers a portable, easy-to-use, and easy-to-clean device that replicates the beneficial effects of traditional CPT sessions.
This mucus-clearing device is particularly useful in scenarios where breathing discomfort arises from mucus buildup but doesn't warrant a hospital visit. Whether you're in a hospital or home environment, the device provides assistance for unhindered breathing without the aid of a second person.
The vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy system operates by creating an open airway during inhalation, narrowing and concentrating the airway into your respiratory system. The device's standout feature is its exhaling mechanism. As you inhale, compression builds up inside, similar to a primed cannon. Upon exhaling, the internal vibrating mechanism allows the air to escape, shaking up your internal passageways and effectively clearing mucus from your system. This process occurs so rapidly that it is barely perceptible. Use the device in any comfortable setting or position, whether standing or lying down, as it does not compromise its functionality.
Cleaning the device is a straightforward process, ensuring it's ready for use whenever you experience breathing discomfort. Disassembling the device requires no tools, and you can choose to boil the parts, submerge them in alcohol, or place them in the dishwasher for cleaning. Once removed from the water or solution, lay the parts on a dry cloth and let them air dry. The device's simple use, design, functionality, and sanitation make it highly commendable. It is conveniently portable, fitting into your purse or backpack, and being made of latex-free material, it is suitable for use by most individuals, including those with latex sensitivities. Your doctor may recommend this device, suitable for both adults and children.
