Shaker Medic Plus: Respiratory incentive with the possibility of being sterilized in an autoclave

The Shaker Medic Plus is a respiratory incentive spirometer that can be autoclaved, making it suitable for multiple users and ideal for hospital settings. It promotes the mobilization and elimination of bronchial mucus . It generates high-frequency vibration and positive expiratory pressure, facilitating mucus drainage.

This is the new generation of Shaker, offering slightly less resistance than the Shaker Classic (10 cm H2O vs. 12 cm H2O). Easy to use, it provides fast relief for both children and adults. The unit includes two nozzles: one silicone and one autoclavable silicone nozzle.

The " Shaker " is a high-frequency oscillation unit. When exhaled orally through the Shaker, it generates vibratory effects associated with positive expiratory pressure (PEP). This mobilizes and releases pulmonary secretions (mucus), facilitating their elimination.

Respiratory therapy is essential in the treatment of patients with chronic respiratory system involvement and symptoms , who have difficulty expectorating retained secretions , which can become a major problem as it increases the rate of bronchial and pulmonary infections.

Instructions:

- Chronic bronchitis

- Bronchiectasis

- Emphysema

- Asthma

- Cystic fibrosis

What is respiratory physiotherapy?

Respiratory therapy is essential in the treatment of patients with chronic respiratory system involvement and symptoms , who have difficulty expectorating retained secretions , which can become a major problem as it increases the rate of bronchial and pulmonary infections.

Over the past 40 years, our understanding of airway clearance mechanisms has significantly improved, both under normal and pathological conditions. Hypersecretion of mucus that is not expectorated has been shown to predispose to bronchial and/or pulmonary infections, and maneuvers to reduce airway mucus result in improved ventilation and clinical status.

There are several physical therapy options aimed at clearing mucus from the airways. Among them are oral high-frequency oscillation devices, such as the Shaker Classic.
