Respironics Threshold PEP Mucus Clearing Device

Compact, lightweight and easy to use


If you can still cough but find it difficult to dislodge mucus then PEP therapy may be suitable for you. The
Threshold PEP uses resistance when you breath out to create positive pressure that
opens your airways and moves your mucus to an area of your airways where it is
easier to expel.



When you exhale through Threshold PEP, the resistive load creates positive pressure that helps open the airways
and allows mucus to be expelled during "huff" coughing, or Forced Expiratory Technique
(FET). Threshold PEP may also help improve gas exchange and medication
deposition when used in conjunction with nebulizer treatments.


Respironics Threshold PEP Positive Expiratory Pressure device is used for airway clearance, bronchial hygiene, or as an alternative to chest physical therapy. When patients exhale through Threshold PEP, the resistive load creates positive pressure that helps open the airways and allows mucus during "huff" coughing or forced expiratory technique (FET).
