Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 We have the flutter we got it before it was ever even patened to sell. The man who invented the flutter (Rick) was our Respiratory therapist at the Medical University. I personaly don't see that much of a difference but then again we haven't used it in a very long time , he was too young to use it properly.....Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2002 Report Share Posted August 23, 2002 I think that both the flutter and the vest are equally needed, My 13 year old has both, the flutter is great when she is going to spend the night at a friends house, much easier then hauling the vest.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2002 Report Share Posted August 25, 2002 It's a type of percussion device. It looks like a small pipe that has a ball inside that when youblow into it the proper way sends vibrations of sorts back into your lungs to help loosen the mucus.Crystal Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
