vPEP® OPEP Device Family

The simplest OPEP therapy
  • Study indicates superior performance in secretion clearance and new study shows the vPEP surpasses competitors
  • The vPEP® features adjustable resistance with superior amplitude and consistent frequency even for low flow/volume patients
  • Easy operation with only 4 parts to assemble and clean, helping to reduce risk of infection
  • Can connect to OxyJET to provide supplemental oxygen for patients in need
