ABSTRACT:
A device for thinning lung secretions comprises a housing, a reed disposed in the housing, and an acoustical resistance. The reed produces a low-frequency audio shockwave in a range of about 12 Hz to about 30 Hz when vibrated. The acoustical resistance couples a patient lung cavity to the audio shockwave, thereby vibrating the patient's lung cavity to thin lung secretions.
