The CoughAssist™ Mechanical In-Exsufflator provides non-invasive removal of bronchial secretions. Its safe, simple & effective. Clinically tested, the non-invasive CoughAssist™ Mechanical In-Exsufflator (MI-E) from J.H. Emerson Co. safely and effectively clears retained broncho-pulmonary secretions, reducing the risk of respiratory complications. Easy to use, the device avoids airway damage while offering patients greater comfort and quality of life without use of an invasive procedure.







Mechanical Insufflator-Exsufflator


CoughAssist is a noninvasive therapy that safely and consistently removes secretions in patients with an ineffective ability to cough (peak cough flow <270 l/m).




Typical CoughAssist patients include those with the following conditions:



  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis


  • Spinal muscular atrophy


  • Muscular dystrophy


  • Myasthenia gravis


  • Spinal cord injuries



 



CoughAssist clears secretions by gradually applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly shifting to negative pressure. The rapid shift in pressure produces a high expiratory flow, simulating a natural cough.
