Advanced Treatment for Severe Emphysema

George’s Journey with the Zephyr Valve

The Zephyr Valve is a revolutionary, minimally invasive option for severe emphysema. This tiny, one-way valve allows trapped air to escape from the diseased areas of the lungs, shrinking the damaged lobe and making more room for healthy lung tissue to expand.
 
For George Martin, who struggled with breathing and energy after 25 years of smoking, the Zephyr Valve Treatment was life-changing. Thanks to the Pulmonology Associates team at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, George has regained his ability to move and live more freely. Hear his inspiring story in the video above.
