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