PhysioAssis SIMEOX - Therapy Technology

SIMEOX features a unique technology having a direct action on the viscosity of the mucus:

• SIMEOX generates non-invasively during patient exhalation through a mouthpiece, a succession of very short air depressions disseminating throughout the bronchial tree a pneumatic vibratory signal. The effect is a transient modification of the rheology of the mucus, reducing its viscosity and improving its mobilization toward higher bronchial tree. Mobilized mucus is then expectorated through natural cough.
• SIMEOX development is based on 5 years of fundamental research in partnership with prestigious research centers and university hospitals about the behavior and physical properties of the bronchial mucus.
• The SIMEOX technology allows a more distal drainage of the mucus without increasing the fatigue of the patient, as the device is used in total relaxation
• Compared to oscillating PEP devices, SIMEOX delivers a more consistent and specific signal that impacts the rheology of the bronchial mucus.
• Unlike other airway clearance instrumental aids such as IPPV or Mechanical In-Exsufflation, the SIMEOX device does not deliver any continuous flow, in order to reduce the risk of bronchial collapsus.
