What is an AffloVest?

An AffloVest may be the perfect option for you, but you might not know what it is yet or what all the details are regarding the AffloVest. We are going to share with you what an AffloVest is, how it works, and how it might be just what you are looking for! 

What is an AffloVest?

The AffloVest is a High-Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation therapy vest, and it is the first one that is battery-operated! The main purpose of the AffloVest is to provide effective airway clearance therapy and allow you to still live your life normally. The AffloVest can help loosen thick mucus secretions and clear mucus from the air passages - this will result in a better quality of life for the individual using the AffloVest.

Who Can be Prescribed an AffloVest?

Many individuals with different medical conditions can benefit from using an AffloVest. Some of those include:

  • Bronchiectasis

  • Cystic Fibrosis

  • Muscular Dystrophy

  • Quadriplegia

These diseases can increase mucus production resulting in a decreasing overall lung function. The over-production of thick, sticky mucus can increase the risk of lung infections too. By using airway clearance therapy, lung function can increase, and the risk of lung infections decreases because it helps loosen the mucus and clear the airways.
