Flutter
- Question
- Hello,
We are about to buy a flutter but we have seen that there are other devices especially GeloMuc®, for example.
The price difference is doubled while the devices appear to be the same based on the description we found.
Can you tell us the reasons for such a price difference? The GeloMuc® which is twice cheaper than the flutter, is it as effective? The French CF Association tells about the flutter in ist brochure.
Thank you. - Answer
- Hello,
actually thoses devices are based on the same principle: a ball creates vibrations during exhalation to fight against bronchospasm and help thinnig the secretions. No studies have proved these effects.
If GeloMuc® is cheaper, then take it to begin with it! Especially as you never have used it so far, you do not know if you are going to use it for a long time ... The feeling of having an effect depends on the individual patient.
Have a good day,
