Respiritech Vest

Hi, does anyone have the info on why the Respiritech Vest works better than the others? I know it has to do with the waveforms but I need something that explains it better than I do!

Thanks!

There are more sizes to choose from, even the option of having a custom vest made, which ensures the most effective therapy you can get. It's quieter and more comfortable, which means compliance is more likely to happen on the part of the patient.

The best advantage is that you can customize how much shaking you want. It has a "quick start" feature which automatically cycles through 10 3-minute wave cycles designed to increase in pressure and frequency without any additional input from the user.

Its more comfortable with a port. The hoses lock in and don't pop off.

For me personally, I was never able to get anything coughed up with the HillRom vest. It just didn't fit well enough, and the intense shaking was too violent. It made me queasy. This is going to sound dorky, but with the respirtech, I actually LOOK FORWARD to doing my vest treatments because I know it's working. My FEV1 went up and has reached a stable level since using the Respirtech vest.

I really hope you'll be able to get it. It's WONDEFUL!

Check out sakasuka's blog page -- I believe she has all sorts of info about the Respirtech vest.

I have a Hill-Rom for my daughter and a Respirtech for my son. My daughter loves her Hill-Rom because she likes having the 1/2 size vest so that works well for her, but I'll tell you that I have been very impressed with the Respirtech machine for my son. It is smaller, shaped more conveniently, the hoses are 4000% better than the Hill-Rom hoses, it does seem quieter (but I don't have both in the same house to know for sure, but that's my guess), it overall has a nicer feel (better built or quality) feel to it, the vests seem to be better quality and the machine costs about three thousand dollars less than the Hill-Rom
