ABSTRACT:
A percussor for respiratory percussion therapy, comprising a lightweight flexible cantilever handle and a soft elastomeric percussion cup secured to the distal end of the handle. The bell-shape of the percussion cup provides a highly effective percussion shock wave and sound, while accommodating a wide range of striking forces and angles relative to any desired body surface. A lip having a large surface area substantially avoids irritation, trauma and injury to the patient.
