Pegaso Cough
The Pegaso A-Cough is the latest model of cough assistant from Dima Italia. This new and modern design combines long-standing experience and reliability with innovative features including auto-adaptive technology and greater monitoring capabilities available to caretakers.
It is useful in the non-invasive removal of pulmonary secretions in patients with impaired cough abilities. The device simulates the natural cough by applying a positive pressure to the airway, then rapidly going to a negative pressure.
Highly sensitive trigger technology adapts the therapy to the patient’s breathing rhythm, while maintaining effective cough assistance. Easy to apply and tolerate, the device can be used both at home and the hospital.
