Vibratory PEP Therapy System
Maximising therapy effectiveness, empowering patient compliance
What is oscillatory positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy?
Oscillatory, or vibratory, positive expiratory pressure therapy, is an airway clearance technique combining positive expiratory pressure (PEP) therapy and vibratory therapy.1
PEP therapy
Equalises bronchiole and alveolar pressure to prevent airway collapse and keep airways open2
Recruits alveoli through collateral ventilation - moving air behind trapped secretions, improving gas exchange and reversing atelectasis3,4
Vibratory therapy
Uses airflow vibrations to gently shake airway structures, loosening excess secretions and decreasing their viscosity5
OPEP therapy:6
- is effective for patients with retained or excessive secretions
- assists in clearing excess secretions from lung and airway structures
- enables patients with compromised pulmonary capacity to breathe easier
The acapella choice system allows patients to carry out OPEP therapy in their homes, without the need for assistance7
