Respirometer

A respirometer, also called an incentive spirometer, is a medical device used to encourage deep breathing and improve lung function. It is commonly used post-surgery or during recovery from respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia, asthma, or COVID-19. By inhaling through the device, the patient lifts internal markers, providing visual feedback that motivates regular, deep breaths. This helps expand lung capacity, prevent fluid buildup, and reduce the risk of lung infections.

Uses:

• Post-operative respiratory therapy

• Lung capacity training in chronic respiratory conditions

• Breathing rehabilitation after illness or surgery

Benefits:

• Improves lung function and oxygen intake

• Prevents pneumonia and atelectasis in bedridden or post-surgical patients

• Easy-to-use and reusable device

• Visual guide motivates consistent breathing exercise

• Suitable for both home and clinical use
