You have to get through a respiratory company and the order needs to come through your doc.  Be sure to get alot if yankauers (the part that goes in mouth) and be sure to have sterile water to clean the tubing.  We had 1 for several months.  Heads up, they are loud.  Im happy to answer any questions that come up.  Good luck

You don’t not need a prescription unless its a reimbursement issue. You can rent them at medical supply companies or buy them online.

SUCTION MACHINE

 AFTER RADIO THERPY .GOT A LOT OF MUSAC ON BACK OF MY THROAT CONSTANTLY TRYING TO BRING UP MUCAS .WILL A SUCTAN MACHINE DO THE JOB AND ARE THEY SAFE TO USE 

I Used One

During a hospital stay. They are safe to use and do a good job. I never had one at home. Just hacked and coughed till I got the mucous out and like one fella said mostly slept upright or in a recliner for a while. I would check with your medical team if you think you really need one and maybe you can rent or lease one from a medical supply place till you get through the mucous problem.

Used mine a few weeks

IF my memory isn't tricking me, I think I *needed* mine for about two weeks.  I couldn't work-up the pressure to spit as hard as I needed-to and the machine really helped. 

But it was useful / made life easier for some time after I no longer required it.  IN fact, I could have made it through without it, as I never used it at night when the house was asleep since it was pretty loud.  Anything to make any of this easier is a good thing, though.

 

I would say, "That was the worst part," of the treatment for me.  ...but the fact is that there are a lot of "worst parts" and it is a true blessing that many of these memories fade.

 

It's also awesome that so many of us make it and we have the luxury of forgetfulness.
