Respiratory Therapy and Devices

Breathing should never be a barrier to living life fully. Our respiratory solutions support patients as they complete therapy in the hospital and at home. As an important part of providing long-term support for cystic fibrosis or bronchiectasis, our therapies help patients and caregivers breathe easy and live with confidence.

Respiratory Therapy Solutions

We offer a portfolio of respiratory therapies that combine clinical effectiveness with patient-centered design. Our therapies are used to help people who are managing chronic conditions, recovering from surgery and more.

Respiratory Therapy Devices

Our portfolio includes airway clearance systems and portable HFCWO vests that mobilize secretions. These solutions help patients continue treatment at home or on the move — reducing hospital stays and enhancing quality of life.1

The Obstacles to Breathing Freely

Respiratory disease continues to place a heavy burden on patients and healthcare systems. In the U.S. alone, more than 15 million people experience COPD, and nearly half a million live with bronchiectasis. These trends underscore the urgent need for solutions that make breathing support more effective, accessible and sustainable across care settings.

15.7 MM

In the U.S., there are more than 15 million diagnosed cases of COPD, and nearly half a million live with bronchiectasis.2

59%

Among U.S. patients with cystic fibrosis, 59% now rely on high-frequency chest wall oscillation (HFCWO) devices—such as wearable vests that use rapid air pulses to loosen mucus—as their primary method for airway clearance.3

40%

The global population aged 60+ is projected to increase 40%—from 1 billion to 1.4 billion—by 2030, driving greater demand for noninvasive ventilators.4
