Mucus Clearance Devices

Mucus clearance devices are medical tools designed to help individuals clear thick or excess mucus from their lungs and airways. These devices include positive expiratory pressure (PEP) devices, oscillating vests, and flutter valves that create vibrations or pressure to loosen mucus. This makes coughs more effective, improving breathing and reducing infections. They are commonly used by people with respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis or chronic bronchitis, enhancing lung function and comfort. Proper use can help maintain clear airways and support overall respiratory health.
