The Breather 1.1 Respiratory Trainer The Breather Each The Breather Respiratory Muscle Trainer, by PN Medical, is an effective, economical hand-held respiratory training device, designed to strengthen both the inspiratory and expiratory muscles via a method of resistance similar to that of weight training. The respiratory breathing/strength training device, The Breather, is an effective tool to teach diaphragmatic breathing for strong breath support, which is essential for coordination of speaking, swallowing and coughing.The Breather may be a beneficial choice for those interested in developing strength and endurance for their respiratory muscles. Like other muscles, respiratory muscles can weaken as a result of prolonged illness, aging, and neuromuscular diseases. Inspiratory resistance, in turn, can strengthen the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles (the accessory breathing muscles surrounding the ribs) and the accessory muscles of the neck. Likewise, exhalation resistance can strengthen and tone the internal intercostals and abdominal muscles, as well as mimicking the act of pursed lip breathing, which is helps to safeguard against trapping air in the lungs during training. It may also help clear mucus in the airways, making breathing smoother.Vitality Medical also carries other breathing exercise devices, such as Breathing Booster Lung Exerciser and Powerlung Breathing Exercisers.Product Features and Benefits:Clears Airways.Minimizes Congestion.Use With Mouth Piece or Mask.Reduces the Sensation of Dyspnea.Easily Tolerated for Post-Op Patients.Enhances breathing from the diaphragm.Improved blood flow throughout the body.Promotes deeper and higher quality breath.Assists in Teaching Diapragmatic Breathing.Safer swallowing with better breath support.Increased ability to breath around vocal chords.Increases strength in muscles required for breathing in and out.Strengthens muscles needed for coughing and clearing airways.Variable Inspiratory/Expiratory Resistances Via Two One-Way Valves.Product Specifications & Technical Data:Weight: 1.6 Oz.Length: 4-1/2 Inches.Instructions Included.Product Number: BR2.Use: Single User Device.Manufacturer: PN Medical.Dimensions: 129 X 43 X 46Mm.Settings: 6 Inspiratory, 5 Expiratory.Registration: Fda Class 1 #: 1058052.Healthy Adult Range: -243 Cmh2O To +126 Cmh2O.Respiratory Impaired Range: -52 Cmh2O To +31 Cmh2O.Conditions TreatedCopdStrokeAsthmaDysphagiaParkinsonsSleep ApneaHypertensionMultiple SclerosisSpinal Cord InjuryMyasthenia GravisMuscular DystrophyVocal Fold PathologiesCongenstive Heart FailureVentilator / Trach WeaningManuals & DocumentsProduct Video: The Breather RMTVideo TranscriptionThe breather is the first drug-free evidence-based respiratory muscle training device designed to serve patients with COPD, CHF, dysphagia, stroke, hypertension, Parkinson's and neuromuscular disease. Its purpose for use is to improve respiratory muscle weakness, dyspnea, quality of life and speech and swallow performance. The first breather was invented by therapist Peggy Nicholson in 1980, and has been prescribed to over 1 million patients. This new model builds on the success of the original and strives to further meet the needs of patients worldwide. The body was redesigned to accommodate patients with poor hand strength. The inspiratory and expiratory dials work independently of each other and now range from a negative 50 centimeters to a positive 55 centimeters of water pressure. The mouthpiece provides a superior seal for patients with a weak mouth grip. It now comes with a 15 millimeter to 22 millimeter adapter. And most importantly, patient compliance is high because they feel quality of life improvements within days. Evidence-based results of respiratory muscle training with a device such as the breather includes: increased MIP and MAP, improved oxygen saturation, reduced hyperinflation, improved laryngeal function for speech and swallowing, and improved delivery and distribution of inhaled medication. All this leads to faster weaning from mechanical ventilation, shorter length of stay and lowered probability of hospital readmissions. - Buy Now!
