What Is The Airphysio Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure OPEP Device?
AirPhysio is an International Award-winning OPEP medical device designed to improve lung capacity, mucus clearance, and lung expansion. The device works using a technique known as the Oscillating positive expiratory pressure to combat breathing issues.
This technique is used for lung expansion to expand the Airways, mobilize mucus, and helps to clear mucus from the lungs. Airphysio is a hand-held, drug-free medical device that is used by individuals with low lung capacity conditions, respiratory muscle weakness in getting rid of lung congestion.
How does Airphysio work?
After exhaling through the award-wining product, the mucus will start accumulating near the top of the lungs or at the back of the throat, depending on your response. If that is the case for you, initiate the cough to expel the mucus; if not, you should continue working up to the throat and choose to swallow.
Repeat the process six times at approximately two times per minute for up to 5 minutes. Take two deep breaths in between each session as it reduces the chance of getting lightheaded. Before initiating the mucus clearance and lung expansion process, it is essential to take the following steps:
- First, loosen, relax and take a proper posture and position
- Slowly inhale beyond the normal breath but do not fill your lungs completely
- Hold you are breath for 2 to 3 seconds
- Place the Airphysio gadget on the mouth and exhale through it reasonably fast but not at a forceful speed but ensure you do not empty the lungs.
- Adjust the Tilt to feel the maximum vibration in the chest and keep your cheeks as stiff as possible.
- Repeat the following steps 2 to 4 for 5 to 10 breaths until you feel the mucus accumulated on top of the lungs.
