Cough Assist Device
A Cough Assist Device is a non-invasive respiratory therapy system designed to help patients clear airway secretions when they are unable to cough effectively on their own. It works by alternately applying positive and negative pressure to the airways, simulating a natural cough. Commonly used for patients with neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injuries, or weakened respiratory muscles, it helps improve breathing, reduce the risk of pulmonary infections, and enhance overall respiratory comfort.
