Nippy Clearway Cough Assistor – Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation Device for Airway Clearance
The Nippy Clearway Cough Assistor is a specialised mechanical insufflation–exsufflation (MI-E) device designed to help patients clear airway secretions when coughing is weak or ineffective. Using rapid alternation between positive and negative pressure, the Nippy Clearway Cough Assistor mimics a natural cough, promoting safe, effective mucus clearance and reducing respiratory complications.
This cough assist device is particularly valuable for individuals with neuromuscular disorders, spinal cord injuries, or respiratory muscle weakness. By improving secretion management and reducing the risk of chest infections, it supports better breathing comfort and overall respiratory health. Compact, user-friendly, and adaptable for both mask and tracheostomy interfaces, the Nippy Clearway Cough Assistor can be used in clinical and home care settings alike.
