About VIRTH Lung Expansion & Mucus Relief Device

When the breath is unsteady, all is unsteady; when the breath is still; all is still. Control the breath carefully. Inhalation gives strength and a controlled body; retention gives steadiness of mind and longevity; exhalation purifies body and spirit. – GoraksasathakamVIRTH Oscillating positive expiratory pressure (OPEP) devices are hand-held, drug-free medical devices that has been shown to improve lung function and improve health-related quality of life in patients, this non-pharmacologic therapy that can increase mobilization and elimination of airway mucus hypersecretions. In respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis and others, mucus clearance can improve pulmonary mechanics and facilitate gas exchange, reduce breathlessness, prevent recurring infection, reduce exacerbations and hospitalization and improve quality of life.The VIRTH Flutter device is a small pipe-shaped, easily portable handheld device, with a mouthpiece at one end. It contains a high-density, stainless steel ball that rests in a plastic circular cone. During exhalation, the steel ball moves up and down, creating oscillations in expiratory pressure and airflow. When the oscillation frequency approximates the resonance frequency of the pulmonary system, the vibration of the airways occurs, resulting in loosening of mucus.Take a deep breath in and hold for 2- 3 seconds. This allows the air to distribute equally throughout the lungs.Exhale if you can through the flutter while keeping your cheeks hard and flat. The angle of your Device is critical. Start with the stem of the flutter horizontal to the floor. The bowl of the Decive is at a slight tilt. This tilt ensures that the ball bounces and rolls while you exhale making the vibrations that loosen the mucus.Place your hand on your chest while you exhale to decide the best vibration or fluttering. Tilt your flutter to give you the best vibration.
