Respiratory Muscle Strength Trainer
Respiratory muscle trainers are hand held devices
designed to strengthen the muscles of inspiration and expiration. These portable devices are easy to use and beneficial for anyone
interested in developing power and endurance of their breathing
muscles.
For patients with inspiratory muscle weakness, the addition
of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) to a general exercise training
program tends to improve exercise performance. Inspiratory resistance
strengthens the diaphragm and the accessory muscles of breathing and
patients with neuromuscular weakness may benefit from IMT with
improved endurance.
Improving the strength of the expiratory muscles
(the muscles you breathe out with) assists in breathing and breath
support for singing, speaking, and coughing.
The BREATHER® provides variable resistance
to airflow on inspiration and expiration.

Care of the BREATHER®
Clean the BREATHER® with warm soapy water. The
BREATHER® is dishwasher safe - top rack. Shake well to remove excess
water and let air dry on a clean paper towel. If the BREATHER® is
thoroughly dried, it may be stored in a plastic bag.
NOTE: If the rubber diaphragm sticks
from moisture buildup after training or cleaning, simply exhale
forcefully through the device to release the moisture seal. The
diaphragm of the BREATHER® is made of latex and caution should be
taken in use with persons with known latex allergy.
