PARI O-PEP

The PARI O-PEP is an Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure device used for mucus clearance, in which patients exhale into the device against a movable ball, causing a vibration that is circulated to the lungs. The Pari O-PEP produces a range of oscillation frequencies between 6 and 20 Hz and can be adjusted by changing the incline of the device. PARI O-PEP is intended for adult and pediatric patients ages 5 and older, for use in the home, hospitals, and sub-acute institutions.

What are the benefits of Pari O-PEP?
Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy has been shown to be beneficial for the opening of airways in the lungs and can assist with secretion clearance. The effect of increased pressure through the right breathing technique is that air can be pushed slightly deeper into the lungs, where it may help to loosen secretions, which can then be coughed up.
