There are many options available to help individuals with respiratory ailments. However, one product, AffloVest, is unlike any other product on the market. AffloVest is a High Frequency Chest Wall Oscillation (HFCWO) vest that provides treatment for respiratory diseases like:
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Emphysema
- Chronic Bronchitis

Unlike other HFCWO vests, AffloVest features built-in oscillating compressor modules that allow “freedom of movement to travel, go for a walk in the park, move around the house, or relax in front of the television.” Other vests on the market claim to be portable, but AffloVest is the world’s first truly portable HFCWO vest. It weighs around 10 pounds and doesn’t require a loud, bulky generator unit.
