Airway with a mucus

plug

Resistance holds
the airway open

Pulses help thin and

loosen mucus while

the airways are held open


When you exhale through the device, you will feel very quick pulses of resistance against your exhaled breath. These pulses of resistance hold your airways open and help shake the excess mucus loose, pushing it out of the smaller airways; it can then be coughed out. The degree of resistance can be changed depending on your comfort level. There is a valve inside the Aerobika OPEP device that switches quickly between higher and lower resistance creating positive pressure inside your airways. If you have nebulizer treatments, your health care professional may even opt to combine them with your OPEP therapy to reduce therapy time and improve patient compliance.

What Is An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System?

An Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System, or OPEP device, is designed to aid in the loosening and removal of mucus buildup in the lungs. You may need OPEP treatments if you have a lung disease such as cystic fibrosis or COPD where your lungs need help keeping up with the amount of mucus produced each day. OPEP therapy is done by inhaling and exhaling through the device several times, then Huff Coughing to remove the loosened mucus.

What Is Huff Cough?

Huff Cough will help move mucus up and out of your lungs. Just like when you use your breath to create fog on a mirror, you would take a short, shallow breath and exhale forcefully with your mouth in an O shape.

    This device has helped save

    This device has helped save my life. I have been using it since it first came on the market and was prescribed by my pulmonary doctor who is always on the cutting edge of new products that will benefit his patients. It may be used in conjunction with my nebulizer which cuts down on the time needed to do 4 breathing treatments each day.
