reduce hyperinflation of the lungs caused by severe emphysema\/COPD. In a minimally invasive bronchoscopic procedure, an average of four tiny valves are placed in the airways to block off the diseased parts of the lungs where air gets trapped, causing hyperinflation and severe shortness of breath. The Zephyr Valve reduces lung hyperinflation by allowing trapped air to escape and preventing new air from entering that diseased lobe. This allows the healthier parts of the lung to function better and results in patients being able to breathe more easily and experience less shortness of breath.<a href=\"https:\/\/pulmonx.com\/references\/\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Zephyr Endobronchial Valve is removable, and thus preserves future therapy options.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_ab6w326 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_vq08328 first\">\n                            <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_snf0329\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col-full tb_zs93329 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_2aop331   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: center;\">If you have a patient to refer, find a treatment center in your area.<\/h3>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module buttons -->\n<div  class=\"module module-buttons tb_sce5279 buttons-horizontal solid  large squared\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div class=\"module-buttons-item tf_in_flx\">\n                        <a href=\"\/zephyr-centers\/\" class=\"ui builder_button tf_in_flx tb_default_color\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n                                                Find a Center                                        <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<!-- \/module buttons -->\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_vie6836\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col-full tb_uck1837 first\">\n                    <!-- module divider -->\n<div  class=\"module tf_mw module-divider tb_1ck8837 solid   \" style=\"border-width: 1px;border-color: #3095b4;margin-top: 30px;margin-bottom: 30px;\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <\/div>\n<!-- \/module divider -->\n        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_subrow themify_builder_sub_row tf_w col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tb_s81j330\">\n                <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column sub_column col-full tb_pwrw331 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_yktb575   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h4 class=\"p1\">Zephyr Valve Patient Benefits and Risks:<\/h4>\n<p>Patients treated report significant improvements in lung function, exercise tolerance, and quality of life.<a style=\"background-color: initial; font-size: 16.6667px;\" href=\"https:\/\/pulmonx.com\/references\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Complications of the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve treatment can include but are not limited to pneumothorax, worsening of COPD symptoms, hemoptysis, pneumonia, dyspnea and, in rare cases, death.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_p8wv331   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><span style=\"background-color: initial;\">Results from clinical spotlights are not necessarily predictive of results in other cases.

The Zephyr Valve is contraindicated for: Patients for whom bronchoscopic procedures are contraindicated; those with evidence of active pulmonary infection; known allergies to Nitinol (nickel-titanium) or its constituent metals (nickel or titanium); known allergies to silicone, or with large bullae encompassing greater than 30% of either lung; Patients who have not quit smoking. The Zephyr Valve should be used with caution and only after careful consideration in treating patients with: Prior lung transplant, LVRS, median sternotomy, or lobectomy; Congestive heart failure or recent myocardial infarction; FEV<sub>1<\/sub> &lt;15% of predicted value. Use is restricted to a trained physician. Prior to use, please reference the Zephyr Endobronchial Valve System Instructions for more information on indications, contraindications, warnings, all precautions, and adverse events.
