Patients with Severe COPD/Emphysema Deserve the Full Spectrum of Care

Talk to Your Doctor About Zephyr Valves

When you take your medications but still have shortness of breath, it may be time to talk to your doctor about the Zephyr Valve treatment — a minimally invasive procedure clinically proven to help improve breathing and quality of life.¹

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.¹

Zephyr Valves are the #1 used endobronchial valves to treat severe COPD/emphysema.*

Complications of the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, dyspnea and, in rare cases, death.
