How does Vacuum Bell treatment work?

The Vacuum Bell is a non-invasive and painless device used to treat Pectus Excavatum. The device is placed over the chest and pumped to create a suction. The Vacuum pressure gradually pulls the chest up to a normal position over time. Read more About Vacuum Bell Therapy.

How do I use the Vacuum Bell?

Using the vacuum bell is easy, but good results require consistent use. Here is how the daily routine looks:

  1. Begin with a straight posture and the chest 'pushed out'.
  2. Place the cup over the chest covering the entire indent.
  3. Wear the device twice per day starting with 1 hour sessions.
  4. After use, symptoms such as exercise intolerance can improve.
  5. Stick to your daily routine to get the best results.

We usually advise starting gradually with the pressure and wear times. After 6 weeks, pressure can be increased to maximum.

Does it come with Instructions?

Yes, we provide detailed instructions with every Vacuum Bell. The instructions are for Doctors and patients and outline how the device works, as well as the best treatment protocols for effective results.

Will the Vacuum Bell fit me?

Yes, the standard 19CM Vacuum Bell is the medically recommended size for most adults and adolescents and is usually a good choice.

I'm over 30, will it still work?

Yes. While studies show the best results are seen in children under 18, the Vacuum Bell still works for adults and is safe to use.
