Lung Flute Therapeutic/Diagnostic
The Lung Flute is a safe, effective, convenient and rapid method of sputum induction.
Low Frequency Acoustic Waves Help Patients’ Natural Mucus Clearing System:
A low frequency wave is generated at the mouth by exhaling through a mouthpiece over a laminar surface (Reed) inside the Lung Flute®. The resulting low frequency acoustic wave that is produced travels retrograde into the lower airways and lung parenchyma and increases mucociliary clearance.
Patients expel air with the force required to blow out a single candle.

Therapeutic Lung Flute features include:
- Simple hand-held device
- Low pressure operation
- Replaceable reeds
The Diagnostic Lung Flute is designed to be an alternative to hypertonic saline in the collection of diagnostic sputum samples for respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, lung cancer, tuberculosis and asthma.
Diagnostic Lung Flute features include:
- Simple hand-held disposable device
