Pep/Rmt offers an easy and proven respiratory training method that can, depending on therapy objectives, be implemented under clinical supervision or at home.
The device comprises a mask or mouthpiece fitted to a valve, which separates the inhalation flow from the exhalation flow. One or two resistors are then fitted to the valve depending on the intended type of training.
One interface, multiple options
Pep/Rmt has several areas of application. The products can be used for breathing training with expiratory resistance, known as:
PEP
Positive Expiratory Pressure
is used to relieve secretionary problems in patients with acute as well as chronic obstructive lung diseases, such as:
- Cystic fibrosis
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
and to prevent and treat postoperative atelectasis.
IMT
Inspiratory Muscle Training
is used to build strength and endurance of the diaphragm in order to reduce dyspnea in connection with:
- Neuromuscular diseases
- Emphysema
IR-PEP
Inspiratory Resistance - Positive Expiratory Pressure.
Combination of resistance to exhalation and inhalation.
HiPEP
High-Pressure PEP.
Forced expiration against an expiratory resistance.
