AffloVest

AffloVest is a vest therapy which utilizes High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation, and is intended for use by people with respiratory disabilities. The vest is lightweight and runs off of battery, dc outlet, or ac outlet power. There are no hoses or carts, so this oscillation vest leaves the user fully mobile during treatment. The vest uses percussive forces transmitted to the lungs in order to mobilize secretions, but instead of using the traditional single waveform, AffloVest generates 8 waveforms, creating more disruption. The use of 8 individual motors allows the vest to target different areas of the lungs. With no squeezing and compression, the user can breathe normally during treatment and there is no "riding up" on the patient's torso.
