BiWaze Clear

BiWaze® Clear is a respiratory device for airway clearance. It combines lung expansion, secretion mobilization, and inhalation therapy in a single system - for shorter, more comfortable treatment sessions, both at home and in the clinic.

How it works

Three treatment options in one device

OLE: three therapies in one device — oscillation, nebulisation and PEP. Select a segment or swipe the text to change the description.OSCPEPNEBOLE3-IN-1 THERAPY
1. PEP THERAPY

Open up and stabilize the airways

PEP therapy recruits the airways by applying positive pressure during inspiration and expiration. This increases the resistance to exhalation, opening and stabilising the airways.

2. OSC THERAPY

Breaking up and effectively clearing secretions

Oscillation therapy aims to loosen the mucus in the airways and thus make it easier to clear. Thanks to two turbines, the oscillation is strong enough to reach deeper-lying secretions as well.

3. NEB THERAPY

Medication and mucus thinning

An integrated Aerogen Solo mesh nebuliser delivers medication to treat secretion retention directly into the device's tubing. The medication can further widen the airways and improve the consistency of the secretions for clearance.

Study data

OLE therapy: study data on postoperative pulmonary complications

Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) can contribute to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs in high-risk patients. A multicentre US study investigated whether oscillation and lung expansion (OLE) therapy after major open thoracic, upper abdominal or aortic surgery may be associated with fewer PPCs.1

The PPC rate was lower in the OLE group than in the control group, and hospital stay and ventilation time were shorter (each statistically significant). No differences were seen in ICU length of stay, pneumonia or mortality. The results suggest that OLE therapy may potentially help reduce PPCs in selected high-risk patients.1

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

BiWaze Clear is an airway clearance device combining three therapies: lung expansion (PEP), high-frequency oscillation (HFO) for secretion mobilisation and aerosol therapy (NEB) – in a single session of around ten minutes.

In chronic respiratory conditions, secretions can build up in the airways. Left untreated, they make breathing harder and raise the risk of infection. BiWaze Clear helps open the airways and loosen secretions.

Yes. At around 4.1 kg including battery and with a carrying case, BiWaze Clear is portable and suitable for both clinic and home care.
