Features
Deliver timely, clinically proven Oscillation and Lung Expansion (OLE) therapy in just ten minutes with the Volara system from Hillrom.
The system uses alternating cycles of Continuous Positive Expiratory Pressure (CPEP) and Continuous High Frequency Oscillation (CHFO), combined with aerosol delivery, to help your patients get more value from their OLE therapy.
CPEP
Treat and help prevent pulmonary atelectasis by combining continuous positive pressure with aerosol medication to help expand and hold the airways open.
CHFO
This pneumatic form of chest therapy delivers continuous pulses of positive pressure, combined with aerosol medication, to mobilize and treat retained secretions.
NEBULIZER
Integrated with CPEP and CHFO for the most efficient treatment, the aerosol delivery system delivers medication during therapy to help loosen secretions.
Versatility
Volara system's wide pressure range allows you to treat more conditions.
Programmable
Mobile
The Volara system is portable and can be used anywhere in the hospital.
Intuitive
The Volara system's therapy interfaces are simple to operate.
Clinically Proven Acute Care Therapy
OLE therapy has been shown to provide outstanding clinical outcomes in acute care settings:
- 1.6-day reduction in average length of hospital stay1
- 2-day reduction in average length of ICU stay1
- 68% reduction in average time on a ventilator1
- Associated with a reduction in ICU bounce-back from 12% to 0%2
