A closer look at suction and airway secretion clearance therapy devices from ABM, Baxter, Neotech, Sentec, Seoil Pacific, and Synchrony Medical.
Baxter

The Vest APX System is Baxter’s new high frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) device from the pioneers of the therapy. HFCWO therapy uses oscillating positive pressure pulses to make the garment inflate and deflate, resulting in the mobilization of bronchial secretions. The Vest APX System features a compact, light control unit with a 7-in LED touchscreen, simple operation and pre-programmed protocols, magnetic quick-attach hoses, and garments in a variety of sizes and patterns with quick-fastening Velcro Brand Closures. Rx Only.
The Volara System from Baxter brings hospital-level Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy to the home. The Volara System assists with two vital airway clearance processes: CPEP therapy expands the lungs, enabling mobilization and evacuation of secretions. CHFO therapy mobilizes secretions to the large airways. Throughout both processes a nebulizer delivers aerosol medication to enhance therapy efficiency. The system delivers therapy with a wide pressure range and accommodates multiple delivery modes, including tracheostomy, mask, and mouthpiece, allowing treatment of a broad range of patients. The control unit supports up to 10 physician-prescribed presets, allowing for easy operation. Rx only.
Sentec

Developed by Dr Forrest Bird and backed by clinical evidence, IPV Therapy is easy-to-use and provides safe, versatile, effective treatment for patients with secretion retention, atelectasis, and air trapping. The IPV 1 features the Phasitron and an open-system design that allows unrestricted expiratory flow, which facilitates secretion mobilization.
For patients who need help managing secretions, preventing atelectasis, or recruiting/expanding their lungs, Sentec offers The Impulsator. Designed for use in home and outpatient care, the Impulsator allows patients to benefit from ongoing IPV therapy. Reimbursement is now available for IPV Therapy at Home.
Synchrony Medical

Synchrony Medical’s LibAirty Airway Clearance System is transforming airway clearance by bringing the proven principles of autogenic drainage into an easy-to-use, at-home therapy. Developed in collaboration with pulmonologists and respiratory therapists, LibAirty combines controlled breathing guided by the LibAirty App with targeted chest compression delivered through the LibAirty Vest. By synchronizing breathing and chest compression to target smaller/peripheral airways, LibAirty can help patients mobilize and clear secretions more effectively. In clinical studies, patients cleared twice as much sputum using LibAirty as they did with a traditional vest-based device, while also reporting greater comfort and higher overall satisfaction.
ABM Respiratory Care

BiWaze Clear is an OLE airway clearance system that combines lung expansion, high-frequency oscillation, and nebulization through an integrated Aerogen nebulizer in a single therapy session. Designed to deliver three therapies in one system in approximately 10 min, BiWaze Clear helps simplify treatment while supporting mucus clearance from the lower airways.
BiWaze Cough is an advanced mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MI-E) system designed to assist patients with ineffective cough and impaired secretion clearance. With customizable settings, CoughCue synchronization technology, and live pressure and flow waveforms, BiWaze Cough helps clinicians tailor therapy and view delivery in real-time.
Seoil Pacific Corp

Seoil Pacific Corp’s Comfort Cough II (CC20 is a mechanical insufflation-exsufflation device that supports airway secretion clearance. The device combines cough assistance with integrated oscillation therapy to help mobilize and remove secretions in patients with neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injury, ALS, and other conditions requiring respiratory secretion management.
