Description & Indication:
The Acapella device is a medical tool designed to help loosen and remove thick, stubborn mucus from the airways. When a patient exhales into the mouthpiece, it generates vibrations that travel through the airways, helping to dislodge mucus. This device is commonly used for people with lung conditions such as cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or COPD. It is particularly helpful for patients who struggle with coughing up phlegm or have difficulty clearing their airways.
How to order them? An RT will recommend one and give it to the patient if it's needed.

Description & Indication:
The Acapella device is a magical contraption that helps patients bring up secretions—whether they have secretions or not. Clear lung sounds? No problem! This device can apparently summon mucus from thin air. Need to "treat" someone who has absolutely no issue coughing? Perfect! The Acapella is your go-to device for solving problems that don’t exist.
How to order them? If you think of it order it. It can't hurt. Who cares about RTs complaining that they are overworked.
