The Cough Assist Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator, or Cofflator, safely and effectively clears retained broncho-pulmonary secretions, reducing the risk of respiratory complications.

I've been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The illness turned my life upside down. Before I was a very active person but because of this, my movements have been limited. One painful thing for me is when I have dry cough or I have colds. In which cases I cannot really cough out normally because I can feel pain and there are times that I cannot move.With this device, I am now able to get all the phlegm out without me getting the painful feeling associated with my coughing. Thanks for this technology.

It was great help for me while I was having lung inflammation. I had to cough like crazy and it was always painful before getting this. With this, though it doesn't stop coughing itself, you can do it more easily. I would highly recommend to buy it those who have bronchial disease quite often like me.

The Cough Assist is a reliable, best and safe therapy. It removes the patient’s secretions slowly who are not able to cough on their own. The cough assist will gradually apply positive pressure to the airway and then it shifts quickly to negative pressure. This fast shift in the change of the pressure gives high expiratory flow resulting in natural cough. Thanks to Vitality Medical for high quality product at great price!!
