G5 Postural Drainage and Percussion Devices for Respiratory Therapy
Consistently deliver optimal results to patients with G5 postural drainage and percussion devices for respiratory therapy. For over 60 years, respiratory therapists have chosen G5 percussion devices to enhance their practice. That’s because our percussors provide unique Directional-Stroking and Directional Percussion modalities that offer therapists superior directional control in the movement of sputum and respiratory secretions, leading to reduced practitioner fatigue and improved patient outcomes, including reduced pharmaceutical use.
Advantages of G5 Devices for Respiratory Therapists
G5 percussors never tire while uniformly providing oscillating vibrations to the chest wall, lower back, upper back, lower ribs, and shoulder blades.
G5 Directional-Percussion™ technology combines vibration and chest percussion to create a powerful yet comfortable gyratory pulsation. You can safely use our devices on bare skin, even when using high-frequency settings.
Precise controls let you alter penetration depth to meet individual patients’ needs; fine application of our devices’ multidirectional oscillation and variable speed frequencies allow for optimized clearance of lung segments.
Operating a G5 Directional Stroking percussor is intuitive and can easily complement other manual airway clearance techniques.
Our devices offer therapists superior directional control, which helps prevent the stagnation of secretions in the major bronchi, which can cause transient hypoxia and dyspnea.
Many healthcare professionals report feeling less tired after using G5® devices compared to manual cupped hand or flat hand techniques for chest physiotherapy (CPT).
Our devices help clear mucus/sputum from larger airways.
Older children experiencing certain lung infections or conditions may benefit from use of G5 percussive devices during chest physical therapy sessions.
Percussive devices like G5 can complement deep breathing exercises,* including huffing, autogenic drainage, and forced exhalation techniques.
You can use our devices in conjunction with any postural drainage position, not just vertically along standard drainage tables.
