Johannesburg, South Africa \u2013 <\/strong>A new Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy device, RespiPEP<\/strong>, has officially launched in South Africa, expanding access to supportive respiratory care for individuals living with certain chronic and acute respiratory conditions.<\/p>\n

Respiratory conditions can make breathing difficult and impact quality of life. RespiPEP is designed to support breathing as part of a broader care plan.<\/p>\n

Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) therapy is a proven airway clearance technique. Patients exhale through a device that provides gentle resistance, generating positive pressure to help keep airways open and support airflow.<\/p>\n

The resistance and resulting oscillations help loosen mucus from airway walls, making it easier to clear. PEP therapy has been shown to support mucus clearance and improve lung capacity.<\/p>\n

Access to effective respiratory support remains a challenge for many patients. RespiPEP offers a practical, easy-to-use solution, suitable for both clinical and home environments, with affordability and portability to support broader accessibility to PEP therapy.<\/p>\n
