TREATMENT FOR INSUFFICIENT COUGH 
Patients w/ neuromuscular weakness or other
paralytic condition are often unable cough
effectively. While vibratory techniques are often
effective in mobilizing retained secretions, they
require active coughing or tracheal suctioning
to remove them. The CoughAssist simulates a
cough by gradually applying a deep inhalation
then shifting to an active exhalation phase. This
results in peak cough flow rates in excess of 5
liters/second. This noninvasive device has been
proven effective for patients with an insufficient
cough due to neurological disorder or high
spinal cord injury. For more info visit our website
at www.coughassist.com or call us at 1-
800-252-1414.
