Aerobika Tandem Therapy

Posted by irenea8 @irenea8, Mar 29 3:17pm

Does anyone use the Tandem Therapy listed on Monaghan website instead of the Aerobika alone? Is this recommended for Bronchiectasis?

This is what they say: The AEROBIKA® device provides Oscillatory Positive Expiratory Pressure or OPEP. This helps stent open the airways allowing the oscillations to assist with the removal of secretions. The VersaPAP® device uses pressurized air to help maintain positive airway pressure throughout the breathing cycle. This allows for a larger deeper inhaled breath as well as positive pressure on exhalation to keep the airways open.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

No not yet but I have wanted to try that. Limiting factors are having to get another script from doctor, these days they are allergic to paper prescriptions. Is that an ACO thing or an EPIC thing?! And the $100 price tag. Not many places carry it also. Sounds really good though!

Wonder how one could buy it. Not seeing it online. But also not sure if it is recommended for Bronchiectasis or not. Maybe Monaghan would have more information.
