Medica Holdings VibraPEP Respiratory Exercisor Respiratory Exerciser  (Pack of 1)

The VibraPEP Oscillatory PEP Therapy System (OPEP) is a single-patient use (one person) device that provides Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) Therapy for spontaneously breathing patients. For patients with lung disorders where secretion clearance may be a problem, it facilitates the detachment and removal of bronchial secretions. By delivering PEP and airflow oscillation to the lungs, the combination of pressure and flow variation causes vibrations in the thorax resulting in loosening and liquefying of the bronchial mucus, which can then be more easily expelled. The VibraPEP consists of a flat Flow Valve inserted into a Curved Tube. As the patient exhales through the VibraPEP, the Flow Valve pressure increases and buckles at the bending of the Curved Tube. When the peak pressure is reached, the Flow Valve end opens and is catapulted against the wall, releasing its pressure. This process is repeated, providing an oscillation effect at a constant pressure and flow rate during the entire exhalation phase.
