Vacuum Bell Treatment

Pectus Excavatum Vacuum Bell Treatment

Vacuum Bell Treatment is a non-surgical method used to correct Pectus Excavatum by lifting the sunken chest using a medical suction device.

The vacuum bell device creates negative pressure on the chest, gradually pulling the sternum outward and helping reshape the chest wall over time.

This method is widely used as a safe and effective alternative to surgery, especially in children and teenagers.

How Does Vacuum Bell Therapy Work?

The vacuum bell device is placed on the chest over the sunken area. A hand pump creates gentle suction that lifts the sternum upward. With regular use, the chest wall gradually adapts and improves in shape.

Treatment Process

  1. Medical examination and diagnosis
  2. Chest evaluation and measurements
  3. Vacuum bell device fitting
  4. Training on proper usage
  5. Daily treatment at home
  6. Regular follow-up and monitoring


Patients usually use the device daily for a specific period of time under medical supervision.

Who is Suitable for Vacuum Bell Treatment?

Vacuum Bell therapy is most effective for:

  • Children and teenagers (8–18 years)
  • Patients with mild to moderate Pectus Excavatum
  • Flexible chest wall
  • Early-stage deformity
  • Patients who prefer non-surgical treatment


Adults may also use vacuum bell treatment, but results may take longer.
