There are two versions: 1) the RC-Cornet® and 2) the RC-Cornet-N®. They are designed for different parts of your body. The RC-Cornet® helps to clear your respiratory system, while the    RC-Cornet-N® is ideal for blocked sinuses, post-nasal drip and other problems related to the naso-pharynx.

The RC-Cornet® clears your airways by applying an oscillating pressure to your lungs. Just like a plunger helps clear blocked drains the Cornet removes mucous from your airways and clears them in order to improve your breathing.

As shown above, breathing difficuties can be due to emphysema (as highlighted on the left side of the picture) or obstruction  due to increased mucous and phlegm retention (see right side of picture). In both cases, this leads to narrowings of the airways and subsequent problems with air throughput.

 2. Treatment with the RC-Cornet® applies a positive expiratory pressure (PEP) with superimposed oscillations to the lung. Due to the PEP, the lung is extended (like an inflated balloon) and breathing is facilitated due to widening of the air passages. In addition, the oscillating pressure helps to remove mucous deposits that block smaller airways and narrowings. Mucous properties are rather like those of toothpaste. At rest mucous retains its shape however under applied pressure it can flow like a liquid (just like toothpaste flows when you push on the tube). The pressure oscillations of the Cornet make the mucous more fluid-like and help to lift it off the airway walls.

3.This results in the clearance of airway blockages.
