Mucus Relief Cleanser & Lung Expansion Device by Tilcare - Breathing Exerciser for Better Fitness & Sleep - Perfect Treatment Aid for COPD, Asthma, Bronchitis & Cystic Fibrosis - OPEP Flutter Machine

Awesome for lung excersises, had one of these well similar in hospital ,worked great, to get my oxygen levels up and out of hospital, plus to add to your medical kit at home.

I bought this product based on the reviews of itIts made from plastic, contains three ball bearings, of various sizesThe theory is, the stronger your lungs get, the bigger the ball bearing you put inalso, the more you use it the stronger your lungs get, just like a muscle, use it or lose itI've been using it a month or so, the amount of mucous my lungs are producing is a lot more, I still cough and bring up phlegm, but at least its clear (sorry but I have to spit it out, its like wall paper paste)I dont know if it is supposed to produce more mucous (or phlegm)from my lungs, but it doesI would assume you use it as long as possible or until your lungs are strong enough to blow up a water bottle, or kids balloonsI would recommend it, but some people wouldnt, but I guess it works different for different peopleFor what it is, I think its over priced, you could just get a stack of balloons and use them, it works on the same principle, it exercises your lungs in the same wayI showed it to my consultant, he said its an interesting concept and if you are happy using it, carry on, if it works and makes you feel better, use it, but that is my opinion (the consultant)I cant argue with him or his opinionI'd say, buy it, give it a try for a month, if it font work for you, return itI'm keeping mineDerrick

Could not get on with this

This is very good for getting the phlegm up recommended by functional doctor 👩‍⚕️

The Tilcare comes with 3 weighted balls and therefore different resistance. There are several products with similar action (OPED) and prices.I have now tried this product twice daily for 12 days before writing a review . There are mixed reviews on this and other similar products as one would expect.In terms of ease of use - it took me about 3 days to achieve the correct vibration (Oscillation)with the weighted ball, this was mainly due to achieving the correct position of the product. So please from my perspective do not give up , persistence paid off in which I finally achieved the correct position and angle and breath for maximum vibration.When I started my peak flow was 340 which was low for me , I was having problems coughing up the mucus exhausting myself in the process. Towards the end of the trial period my peak flow was 500...Over the days as I began to master the technique it became easier to remove the mucus easier . I have not had to use additional medication throughout and now feel so much better with my breathing and increasing level of exercise.I hope this has helped those who read this - the key word is to achieve the max oscillation and therefore vibration to release the mucus, which requires patience and persistence.

I tried the different sizes of the metal balls. I hoped I would have any effect when breathing through the device. But after 2 days I can truly share this: I had no effect whatsoever using this device.For me, it's a waste of money

Liked it being small enough to use and it does work.

Like many people, I suspect ,when I first saw this device I was skeptical. It seemed too simple and unsophisticated to be of any help. But I have been pleasantly surprised to find that it does help in aiding my Father to clear some of the congestion from his lungs caused by his COPD.Just to be clear this is not a 'magic bullet' solution to congested lungs, and it does require persistance to see results but my experience has been that my fathers ability to clear his lungs by coughing is improved by this device and he is happy with the benefits it has delivered.So my view is that while not a perfect solution this device would, I feel, benefit those who find it difficult to clear their congested lungs unaided, and while it may look a little cheap and tacky it does seem to deliver some tangible benefit, at least in my personal experience.
