Positive Expiratory Pressure Device
Threshold PEP is used for airway clearance, bronchial hygiene, or as an alternative to chest physical therapy.
The resistive load creates positive pressure during exhalation that helps open the airways and allows mucus to be expelled.
Threshold PEP incorporates a flow-independent one-way valve to ensure consistent resistance with adjustable specific pressure settings
(in cm H2O) which are set by the healthcare professional for all patients.
When patients breathe out through Threshold PEP, the resistive load creates positive pressure that helps open the airways and allows mucus to be expelled during huff coughing (forced expiratory technique).
Works in any position for effective therapy
Improved mobilisation helps clear lungs and prevents accumulation of secretions
Using the Threshold PEP helps patients breathe more freely.
It improves mobilisation and prevents accumulation of secretions.
Improves central and peripheral airway function
Optimises bronchodilation for improved gas exchange
Easy to set, truly adjustable pressure (in 1 cm H2O increments)
When combined with respiratory drug delivery via nebuliser or MDI spacer devices, the Threshold PEP promotes effective breathing.
Optimizes bronchodilation when combined with respiratory drug delivery via nebulizer or MDI spacer devices
Constant pressure (regardless of patient's airflow) eliminates the need for a pressure indicator
Resistance training for improved central and peripheral airway function
Convenient design is reliable and easy to clean
The Threshold PEP is made of durable, high-impact acrylic.
Includes a mouthpiece and a noseclip in a sealed package- Can be used with mouthpiece or mask
