Read MoreTreatment options for patients with severe COPD have historically been very limited. But the Spiration Valve System gives patients an option to improve their quality of life and get back to doing the things they love.
The Spiration Valve System offers an option for patients who otherwise may have a poor prognosis. With this new technology, there’s hope for late-stage COPD patients to improve their breathing and their lifestyle overall.
The Spiration Valve System is a minimally invasive procedure where expandable valves are inserted into damaged air sacs of the lungs. These valves reroute airflow to healthier regions of the lungs while also helping to clear extraneous fluids. The Spiration Valves result in increased air capacity for the lungs with minimal recovery time for the patient.
Typically, candidates for the Spiration Valve System:
Before treatment, patients will undergo a pulmonary function test (PFT) and a CT scan to confirm eligibility for the procedure. Most patients eligible for the Spiration Valve System have stage three or four COPD.
