Treatments
Robotic assisted bronchoscopy delivered ablation
Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) delivered ablation is a minimally invasive technique used to treat lung tumours and nodules through the natural airways without cutting through the chest wall.
Metered cryospray
Metered cryospray (MCS) is a minimally invasive bronchoscopic procedure—most notably delivered via the RejuvenAir® System by CSA Medical—used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic bronchitis.
Endobronchial valve treatment
Endobronchial valve (EBV) treatment—also known as bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR)—is a minimally invasive procedure for people with severe emphysema and COPD who experience chronic breathlessness despite optimal medication and pulmonary rehabilitation.
Private Lung Function Test
Lung function tests are a comprehensive way to assess how well your lungs are working. The tests measure lung capacity, airflow, and gas exchange to help diagnose and monitor conditions such as asthma, COPD, and other respiratory disorders.
