Mucus Clearance Devices
Mucus Clearing Devices, also referred to as airway clearance devices, from Respironics, Smiths Medical, and Axcan Scandipharm are used to help clear the lungs and airways of secretions. These secretions are typically connected to illnesses like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Asthma and Cystic Fibrosis. Below are three videos that show how to use different Mucus Clearing Devices, including the Flutter Valve and Acapella Flutter Valve.
The Flutter and Acapella Flutter Valves work by creating positive expiratory pressure (PEP) and vibrations. These devices have steel balls to provide resistance against exhaling. The resistance of the balls also creates a positive pressure as you breathe out which moves the loosened mucus, so you can cough it up and promote healthy lungs and airways. In an oscillating PEP device, the balls also create vibrations that help loosen mucus in your lungs and airways.
