For patients with chest congestion. The Flutter is a palm-sized mucus clearance device. Patients exhale a number of times into the mouthpiece of the Flutter, causing a steel ball to vibrate in the casing. The pressure of blowing against this steel ball makes vibrations that travel back into the lungs, where they vibrate the airways to release the mucus. It does not require batteries, and is easy to clean.
