The Flutter mucus device is a handheld device that uses positive expiratory pressure to help loosen and clear mucus from the lungs. It is often recommended as an alternative to manual chest physiotherapy for patients with CF who are unable or unwilling to undergo manual chest physiotherapy. The other options may be helpful in managing CF symptoms, but they do not directly address the need for chest physiotherapy.
