Product Benefits
Respiratory Muscle Trainer
The newly designed Breather 1.1 teaches diaphragmatic breathing to improve breath support, producing positive results in cough effort, speech training, and swallow safety. It effectively uses Resistive Breathing Training (RBT) to rebuild strength in both inspiratory and expiratory muscles of the neck and throat. With increased mouth comfort, the device can be used with metered-dose inhalers, nebulizers, and breathing or speaking valves to strengthen both inhalation and exhalation.
Strengthens Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscles
Inspiratory resistance helps strengthen the diaphragm and the external intercostal muscles (the accessory breathing muscles surrounding the ribs) and the accessory muscles of the neck. Exhalation resistance helps strengthen and tone the internal intercostals and abdominal muscles. The Breather 1.1 may also help clear mucus in the airways, making breathing smoother. This unique, ergonomic handheld tool provides enhanced dual resistance settings that operate independently.
Improves Health and Quality of Life
The Breather 1.1 is the first drug-free evidenced-based respiratory muscle trainer used by COPD, CHF, dysphagia, and neuromuscular disease patients, as well as children ages 8+ and adults interested in healthy aging. The respiratory muscle trainer helps improve quality of life, generating improved airflow through vocal cords, decreasing shortness of breath, promoting diaphragmatic breathing, and improving blood to resting and exercising limbs. The device features adjustable pressure settings using an inspiratory and expiratory dial control.
