There are two valves, Zephyr and Spiration. Same function but a bit different in design. Wouldn't hurt to be evaluated to see if you are a candidate.
Hi Batbara. I had 3 zephyr valves inserted 17 months ago but sadly I'm afraid it hasn't worked for me. Due to see surgeon in 3 weeks to determine if any further treatment is planned. I have to be realistic knowing that I have severe copd that I have to appreciate it will get worse and I can only manage the symptoms Mike
