Aerobika* Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure Therapy System (This Item is GST FREE)
Have you experienced a COPD exacerbation (flare-up)? Acute flare-ups are the most common reason for medical visits, hospital admissions, and deaths in patients with COPD.(1) After a COPD flare-up your lungs may be weakened putting you at risk of another. In fact, 1 in 5 patients hospitalized for a COPD flare-up require re-hospitalization within 30 days. (2)
It's time to break the COPD flare-up cycle. The drug-free Aerobika* device can help.
Using the Aerobika* device in addition to usual COPD treatment after a flare-up has been shown to reduce hospital re-admittance by 28% in the first 30 days after flare-up.(3) It is drug-free and easy-to-use with no side-effects or drug interactions.
In a patient satisfaction survey, 97% of respondents said they would continue to use the Aerobika* device.†4
