OPEP device
The Aerobika OPEP is a drug-free, home-use device that is ideal for treating COPD or post-pneumonia and preventing flare-ups.
The patient breathes in and out through the device. The device maintains positive end-expiratory pressure and creates oscillation (air vibration) to help loosen and remove sticky mucus from the airways.
Oscillation has been used in clinical ventilators for decades, meaning that the clinical effect of vibration has long been known.
