Since I'm basically skin and bones my pulmologist thought that a vest might be uncomfortable, so she ordered a cough assist machine instead. It does help clear out gunk, and treatment times are only about two minutes long. The one I have, made by Biwaze, has an oscillation mode, similar to what a vest might do, but i haven't tried it yet. Might not be right for everyone. I think Philips also makes a cough assist machine. Best of luck to everyone.

I just saw your comment and am wondering what you think of the BiWaze. I participated in a demonstration with my medical equipment supplier and a rep for BiWaze just yesterday. It seemed to work well as a replacement for my vest that I have had for 5 years. My pulmonary doc has agreed to prescribe, so the device is on order for me to "rent" and paid by Medicare. I do not know how the long the process will take to receive it. Good luck in your efforts; hoping this will do the job.
