How the Zephyr Valve Helps People with Severe COPD/Emphysema Breathe Easier1

The Zephyr Valve is a minimally invasive treatment option that is not another medication and does not require cutting or incisions. Tiny valves are placed into a targeted section of the diseased lung where air has become trapped. The trapped air causes shortness of breath. The one-way valve allows the trapped air to escape, resulting in patients being able to breathe easier and experience less shortness of breath.1

How It Works

The Zephyr® Valve is not another medication or surgery. The valves are placed by bronchoscopy which requires no incisions or cutting, so the benefits are achieved without many of the risks of traditional surgical options. The minimally invasive procedure allows the healthier parts of your lungs to expand, lifts pressure off the diaphragm, and helps you breathe easier.1
