Problem
Severe emphysema leads to reduced lung function, diminished exercise capacity, and a significantly impaired quality of life for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Current treatments may not be suitable for all patients, and there is a need for less invasive interventions that can improve lung function regardless of collateral ventilation.
Solution
Free Flow Medical provides the FreeFlow® Coil System, a bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) treatment designed to improve lung function in patients with severe emphysema. The FreeFlow® Coil System is deployed via bronchoscopy and is independent of the presence of collateral ventilation. This minimally invasive approach aims to enhance lung function, increase exercise capacity, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from COPD.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes healthcare professionals, specifically pulmonologists and bronchoscopists, who treat patients with severe emphysema, as well as patients seeking minimally invasive options to improve their lung function and quality of life.
