The AEROBIKA® OPEP
therapy system could
help you if you have the
following symptoms:
• A long-lasting cough
• Shortness of breath
• An ineective cough
• Diculty walking long
distances
• A cough with mucus
• Lung infections
• Breathlessness with
daily tasks
A recent study of COPD
patients showed use of
the AEROBIKA® OPEP
Therapy System for just 4
weeks created noticeable
improvements.1
CLINICALLY SUPPORTED.
DRUG-FREE.
EASY TO USE.
Treatments may help your
inhaled medication to work
better too.2
As your
airways open,
vibrations
from the
Aerobika®
OPEP help
thin and
loosen mucus
which can
then be
coughed out.
Why the AEROBIKA® OPEP Works
Before use, an
airway is plugged
with mucus.
As you exhale through the Aerobika® OPEP,
your airways are opened.
