Are you living with impaired airway clearance? If you experience chronic cough, mucus build-up, shortness of breath, or respiratory infections, you may have a chronic lung condition such as bronchiectasis, COPD, or cystic fibrosis.
These lung diseases can weaken the airways, making it difficult for your body to naturally clear mucus on its own. Luckily, SmartVest can help.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic lung condition where the airways become damaged and abnormally widened due to recurring infection or inflammation. Affecting over 4.2 million people in the U.S.1, it is often misdiagnosed as COPD or asthma. Without proper treatment, flare-ups can worsen over time.
Treating infection and inflammation without addressing airway clearance leaves bronchiectasis patients vulnerable. Excess mucus fuels the “vicious vortex,” which is a continuous cycle that’s hard to disrupt.
While treatment of inflammation plays a role, addressing it alone does not “break” the cycle. A truly effective approach must target all three components of this vortex.

Helping prevent further lung damage
The SmartVest Airway Clearance System is a vest therapy device that uses high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) to deliver rapid pulses of air from a generator to a vest, helping to loosen mucus deep in the lungs so it can be cleared more easily.
While not as easy to pronounce as a vibrating or percussive vest, when it comes to airway clearance, the results speak for themselves.
Without addressing mucus buildup, infections and inflammation persist, leading to worsening symptoms. The SmartVest Airway Clearance System helps break this cycle, keeping your lungs clear and preserving lung function.

I breathe better, walk better, sweep the floor, do dishes—the things you can’t do if you don’t move that mucus out of there.
I hardly slept at night for two years due to the mucus. SmartVest changed all that.
My husband has bronchiectasis and has been using the SmartVest for years. I truly believe it has saved his life.
