AirPhysio is an Australian Made and Owned, International Award-winning medical device designed to assist with mucus clearance and lung expansion.
The device assists with maintaining optimal lung capacity and hygiene. AirPhysio is on the ARTG for Australia and EC for Europe for medical devices and has been validated by Griffith University. We also offer a sports version for elite athletes who want that additional advantage.
• AirPhysio is an International Award-winning mucus clearance and lung expansion medical device.
• AirPhysio uses an all natural process called Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure which is similar to the cough mechanism.
• AirPhysio is on the ARTG for Australia and CE for Europe for medical devices and has been validated by Griffith University.
AirPhysio is a drug-free handheld Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device designed to assist in the clearance of secretions from the lungs and improving lung capacity by:
Vibrating the airways:
Which loosens the bond of mucus to the airway walls for mucus clearance.
Intermittently increasing endobronchial pressure:
Which assists in maintaining the clearing of the airways while a person exhales so that mucus does not become trapped as it moves up the air canal.
Accelerating expiratory airflow:
Which facilitates the upward movement of the mucus through the airways so that it can be more easily cleared.
Respiratory diseases are associated with excess mortality, reduced quality of life for patients, and high health-care costs
In 2019, approximately 8372 people with respiratory diseases died, compared to 6129 in 20101
Respiratory diseases represented the 5th leading cause of death in Australia, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are among the most common respiratory diseases affecting people worldwide
AirPhysio uses an all-natural process called Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure which is similar process to the cough mechanism. It combines the expanding diaphragm (from breathing out), along with a stainless steel ball bearing which creates a seal in a cone in the devise. This is similar to the closing of the vocal cords used in a cough mechanism for building pressure.
The difference is that the average cough only happens once every 2 seconds, AirPhysio creates a similar effect 15 to 35 times per second. This expands and contracts the airway walls at a faster rate, helping to shake and loosen the mucus, creating a more efficient and effective method of expelling the mucus and foreign particles from the lungs.
AirPhysio helps to Break the infection cycle by helping to perform the following:
Clear the contaminated mucus from the lungs
Get the mucociliary escalator functioning more effectively to reduce further infection
Improve lung capacity by removing blockages (like mucus plugs) and reinflating the lungs
Vibration & positive pressure helps clear mucus naturally
PEP assists in maintaining airway clearance and bronchial hygiene

Use
AirPhysio assists people with & without lung conditions looking to improve their day-to-day breathing. This device can help slow down the progression and even prevent some respiratory conditions from forming in the first place.
AirPhysio devices can assist those experiencing lung condition symptoms by helping to open airways and allow users to breathe easier all day long!
AirPhysio utilises oscillations (vibrations) in the airways to mobilise mucus to allow smooth movement and removal from deep coughing motions – oxygen levels increase due to fewer obstructions – allowing us all to breathe easier again.
