Head and spinal cord injuries are the result of a traumatic event, such as an automobile or sport injury. The effects of these injuries can range from temporary to permanent disability.

Many head and spinal cord injury patients will need assistance with ventilation that may be impaired post injury as well as clearance of the airways.

How Does BCV Impact These Patients?

With United Hayek products, there are easy-to-use airway clearance devices that can be utilized in both pediatric and adult patients.
Our products are the only airway clearance systems that have an active cough assistance mode. Our products utilize BCV to generate a true High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) via the cuirass shell. BCV is a method of ventilation that works using a non-invasive cuirass or shell, attached to a power unit that actively controls both phases of the respiratory cycle (the inspiratory and expiratory phases).Using frequencies of 240-1200 Cycles Per Minute, positive and negative pressures are applied to effectively expand and truly oscillate the chest wall and lungs to facilitate mobilization of secretions via the Vibration mode. Our products are the only airway clearance systems that have an active cough assistance mode.

Increased Lung Recruitment

  • BCV works in conjunction with your bodies physiology to naturally fill more of the lung with air

Better Patient Experience

  • By allowing patients to continue to eat and drink, as well as speak to their loved ones, BCV fosters patient independence, and active involvement with their treatment.

Increased Cardiac Output

  • A brief period of cuirass NPV increases cardiac output of patients.
