Overview

Portex Acapella Vibratory Positive Expiratory Pressure System

acapella® DH Vibratory PEP Therapy System

Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy is used to mobilize secretions. PEP devices have been found to give independence to patients with chronic respiratory diseases as the therapy can be done when convenient for the patient and without the need for an assistant.

Acapella® combines the benefits of both PEP therapy and airway vibrations to mobilize pulmonary secretions and can be used in virtually any position allowing patients to move freely and sit, stand or recline.

It improves clearance of secretions, is easier to tolerate than Chest Physical Therapy (CPT), takes less than half the time of conventional CPT sessions* and facilitates opening of airways in patients with lung diseases with secretory problems  such as COPD, asthma and Cystic Fibrosis. . You can adjust the acapella® frequency and flow resistance simply by turning an adjustment

Use of acapella® DM & DH Vibratory PEP Therapy System has many benefits, including:

  • Allows inhalation and exhalation without removing from mouth
  • Prolongs expiratory airflow to increase removal of secretions
  • Allows use with mask or mouthpiece attachment
  • Allows use with inline nebulizer when fitted with tee adapter.
  • Accommodates virtually any patient’s lung capacity.
  • Can be used in any position - patient is free to sit, stand or recline
