Zephyr Endobronchial Valves

The Zephyr Valve is the most studied minimally-invasive endobronchial device for emphysema and has consistently been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe emphysema.

If you're in Brisbane’s northside or surrounding suburbs and are experiencing any of the following, ask your GP for a referral to NBST Clayfield or North Lakes:

  • Persistent cough (longer than 3 weeks)

  • Shortness of breath

  • Wheezing

  • Unexplained fatigue

  • Chest tightness or pain

A respiratory consultation and specialist testing can help determine the cause and guide treatment early.
