RC Cornet, 1 piece

RC-Cornet® basic cornet

The RC-Cornet® Basic Cornet is a respiratory therapy device that helps with diseases of the lower respiratory tract.It helps eliminate bronchial mucus, relieves coughs and improves breathing.Respiratory physiotherapy with this device is an important complement to drug treatment for chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD and cystic fibrosis.

How it works

The RC-Cornet® basic cornet belongs to the group of oscillating PEP-devices (OPEP).When you exhale into the mouthpiece, a positive pressure (PEP) is created that massages the mucous membranes.This dilates the bronchi and loosens, liquefies and removes the secretions in the lungs.Regular training is crucial for the success of respiratory therapy.

Application and cleaning

The respiratory therapy device should be used two to three times a day for between three and five minutes.It can be used in any body position, and respiratory physiotherapy while lying down is also possible.Cleaning is easy: the basic cornet can be boiled, cleaned in a vaporizer or in the microwave with the RC-Clean cleaning bag.In the clinic it can be prepared using steam sterilization up to 134 °C (autoclaving).

Treatment options

The basic cornet offers two treatment options using various settings on the mouthpiece:

1. Widen narrowed airways and train bronchial muscles: The device works against narrowed bronchi and inflammation of the lower respiratory tract.By changing pressure with applied pressure fluctuations, even the smallest, blocked airways, including the alveoli, are reached.When they expand, blockages are released and parts of the alveoli are reactivated.Regular respiratory physiotherapy significantly eases breathing and thus improves quality of life.

2. Loosen bronchial mucus and make it easier to cough up: Tough mucus in the bronchi and strong, unproductive coughs are side effects of various diseases of the lower respiratory tract.Treatment with the respiratory physiotherapy device loosens the annoying bronchial mucus from the bronchial walls and liquefies it.The loosened bronchial mucus can be coughed up effectively.

Accessories

The basic cornet can be expanded with accessories as required.Combined with a RC-Cornet adapter with mouthpiece (T-piece), respiratory therapy can be supplemented with inhalation therapy using a nebulizer.This improves drug deposition and reduces the overall duration of therapy.In conjunction with the RC-tracheostoma mask, the respiratory therapy device is also suitable for tracheostomy patients.
