Consult Your Physician

Pectus excavatum (sunken chest) is a medical condition. Before using any vacuum bell therapy device or beginning any self-treatment program for pectus excavatum, you should:

  • Consult with a licensed physician or qualified healthcare provider
  • Obtain a proper medical evaluation and diagnosis
  • Discuss the risks and benefits of non-surgical treatment options
  • Seek guidance from a specialist familiar with pectus excavatum conditions

Product Use

Forma Chest vacuum bell devices are wellness and physical therapy tools. They are not FDA-cleared medical devices and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Individual results vary significantly based on age, severity of condition, consistency of use, and other factors. We make no guarantee of specific outcomes.

Age Considerations

Vacuum bell therapy is generally most effective in younger patients whose chest wall is still developing. Older users or those with more severe presentations should exercise additional caution and seek medical guidance before use. Forma Chest products should not be used by anyone under the age of 5, and minors should only use the device under direct parental supervision and with physician approval.

Do not use a vacuum bell device if you have any of the following conditions without explicit medical clearance:

  • Connective tissue disorders (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome)
  • Cardiac conditions or cardiac devices (pacemakers, defibrillators)
  • Bleeding disorders or are taking blood thinners
  • Active skin infections or open wounds on the chest
  • Pregnancy
  • History of lung disease or compromised respiratory function

Side Effects

Vacuum bell therapy may cause temporary skin redness, bruising, or mild discomfort. If you experience severe pain, persistent bruising, difficulty breathing, or any unusual symptoms, stop use immediately and consult a healthcare provider.
