BiWaze® Cough System
Mechanical Insufflation-Exsufflation (MI-E) Therapy
A mechanical insufflation-exsufflation (MIE) system designed to support patients with a weak or ineffective cough.
How it works
A dual-blower design separates inhaled air from exhaled mucus, helping deliver higher peak cough flows and maintain lung volume during therapy. Suitable for use across care settings.
Evacuate and cough. Moves mucus out of the upper airways.
-
Dual airflow pathway
Synchronized inhalation and exhalation to mimic a natural cough, separating exhaled mucus from fresh inhaled air.
-
Oscillation option
Programmable oscillations on the inhale, the exhale, or both phases of the cough cycle, to loosen mucus for improved airway clearance.
-
CoughCue™
Senses inspiratory effort and helps trigger exhalation when the patient is ready.
