Respironics Cough Assist T70

Philips Respironics Cough Assist T70

• The Respironics Cough Assist T70 is an innovative medical device that assists individuals with cough-related issues caused by neurological, muscular, and respiratory conditions. 
• The T70 helps mobilize mucus from airways for easier expulsion from your system by providing targeted support through positive pressure and airflow oscillation technology.
• The Philips Cough Assist E70 is an innovative device created to assist individuals in managing cough-related issues and providing respiratory support. 
• Utilizing mechanical insufflation-insufflation (MI-E) technology, this device creates an effective cough by providing positive pressure during inhalation and switching quickly between positive and negative pressure for exhalation, creating a cough-like effect to remove mucus from airways. 
•  Its innovative capabilities increase cough effectiveness while facilitating secretion clearance, thus contributing towards reduced respiratory complications while raising the standard of living for those who suffer from coughing issues.

How Does Philips Cough Assist E70 Work? 

• The T70 operates on the principle of Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E). During inhalation, it provides positive pressure, promoting lung expansion.
•  It then quickly transitions to negative pressure during the exhalation stage, creating a high-velocity flow that creates cough-like effects, which help clear mucus from airways while improving airway hygiene.

Advantages of Utilizing Philips Respironics Cough Assist T70

Enhanced cough management

• Respironics Cough Assist T70 provides non-invasive and effective cough management for individuals with difficulty coughing. 
• By targeting pressure and airflow, the device helps produce strong coughs while clearing secretions from airways while maintaining patency; this can significantly enhance cough effectiveness while decreasing risks related to respiratory complications.

Improved Secretion Clearance

• The T70's oscillatory waveform technology helps improve secretion mobilization and clearance. 
• A combination of positive and negative pressure encourages mucus movement within airways to dislodge accumulated secretions, helping dislodge them for expulsion from your system. 
• It can be conducive for individuals with cystic fibrosis, neuromuscular disorders or spinal cord injuries where secretion clearance plays a crucial role in maintaining respiratory health.

Reduced Respironic Complications

• The Respironics Cough Assist T70 can help minimize respiratory complications that threaten compromised respiratory function by clearing secretions and maintaining airway patency. 
• Regular use of the T70 will reduce these complications for better overall respiratory health.
