Easy to Use Therapy. Powerful Results.
RespiPEP uses gentle oscillating pressure to loosen and mobilise mucus in the airways. Children breathe out through the device, creating vibrations that help clear secretions naturally — no medication required.
Breathe Out Through the Device
The child exhales through RespiPEP, which creates a gentle resistance and oscillating pressure in the airways.
Vibrations Loosen Mucus
The oscillations travel into the lungs, loosening thick or sticky mucus from the airway walls.
Mucus Moves Up and Out
Loosened secretions migrate toward the larger airways where they can be coughed out easily and comfortably.
RespiPEP Airway Clearance Therapy
Watch how RespiPEP PEP therapy works to clear airways and support respiratory health in paediatric patients.
Conditions Where RespiPEP Helps Children
RespiPEP is indicated for paediatric patients with chronic or recurrent respiratory conditions that cause mucus retention and airway obstruction.
Cystic Fibrosis
One of the most common life-limiting genetic conditions in South Africa, cystic fibrosis causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs. Daily airway clearance with RespiPEP is a cornerstone of CF management in children.
CF affects approximately 1 in 2 500 live births in South Africa.
- Reduces frequency of pulmonary exacerbations
- Improves FEV₁ and lung function over time
- Supports independence in airway clearance routines
- Reduces reliance on manual physiotherapy sessions

Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis in children causes permanently widened airways that trap mucus and bacteria, leading to recurrent infections. Regular PEP therapy helps prevent exacerbations and slow disease progression.
Paediatric bronchiectasis is under-diagnosed in South Africa, particularly in post-infectious cases.
- Clears retained secretions daily
- Reduces risk of recurrent chest infections
- Improves quality of life and school attendance
- Easy to use independently from age 4–5 with guidance

Recurrent Chest Infections
Children prone to recurrent lower respiratory tract infections often benefit from regular airway clearance to prevent mucus pooling and secondary bacterial colonisation.
Recurrent chest infections are a leading cause of paediatric hospital admissions in South Africa.
- Reduces mucus stasis between infections
- Supports faster recovery during acute episodes
- Can be used alongside antibiotic therapy
- Builds healthy airway clearance habits from an early age
