About Alora Medical

Breathing support for mom & baby!

RespiPEP™ is a drug-free, non-invasive Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) breathing device that may support guided breathing during pregnancy, labour, and recovery. Designed for the pregnant body, RespiPEP™ encourages slow, controlled exhalation to help manage pregnancy-related breathlessness and support calm, efficient breathing during and between contractions.


RespiPEP™ helps to:

  • Keep airways open during exhalation⁴
  • Promote deeper, more efficient breathing⁴
  • Support lung expansion and oxygen intake⁴
  • Assist mucus mobilisation⁴


During labour, it may:

  • Provide a physical focus
  • Support rhythmic breathing to reduce panic
  • Encourage relaxation between contractions
  • Be used alongside movement, water, gas, or epidural analgesia

 RespiPEP™ is a Class A medical device, manufactured and distributed by Alora Medical (Pty) Ltd — a SAHPRA-licensed medical device company. RespiPEP™ is a medical device intended to support breathing exercises and general respiratory wellness. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
