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

The Shaker Medic Plus is a respiratory incentive that incorporates the possibility of being sterilized in an autoclave, which allows its use by multiple users, making it ideal for a hospital environment. It favors the mobilization and elimination of bronchial mucus . It generates high-frequency vibration and positive expiratory pressure, which facilitates the drainage of mucus.

It is the new generation of the Shaker, the resistance it offers is slightly less than that of the Shaker Classic (10 cm H2O compared to 12 cm H2O). Simple to use, it provides quick relief for both children and adults. The unit incorporates two nozzles, one made of silicone and the other made of the same autoclavable material.

The " Shaker " is a high-frequency oscillation unit, which means that when exhaling orally through the Shaker, it is capable of generating vibratory effects associated with positive expiratory pressure (PEP). This generates the mobilization and release of pulmonary secretions (mucus) favoring their elimination.

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

Indications

- Chronic bronchitis

- Bronchiectasis

- emphysema

- Asthma

- Cystic fibrosis

What is respiratory physiotherapy

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

Over the past 40 years, understanding of airway clearance mechanisms, both under normal and pathological conditions, has improved significantly. Mucus hypersecretion 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 possibilities within physical therapy that aims to remove mucus from the airways. Among them, high-frequency oscillation devices for oral use stand out, a category in which the Shaker Classic is included.
