RESPIRATORY LUNG EXERCISER

A Respiratory Lung Exerciser is a medical device designed to help people improve lung function, breathing capacity, and oxygen intake. It is often recommended after surgery, during recovery from lung conditions, or for people with weak lungs to strengthen respiratory muscles.

How It Works

• The exerciser typically has chambers with balls or indicators.

• When you inhale through the mouthpiece, the balls rise, showing the strength of your breath.

• Regular use helps expand the lungs, improve airflow, and increase oxygen levels.

Uses

• To improve breathing capacity after surgery (especially chest or abdominal surgery)

• For patients recovering from lung infections, asthma, or COPD

• To strengthen weak lungs in elderly or bedridden patients

• For general respiratory fitness and to prevent lung complications

How to Use

1. Sit upright in a comfortable position.

2. Hold the device upright and place the mouthpiece in your mouth.

3. Inhale slowly and deeply through the mouthpiece to raise the indicators/balls.

4. Hold your breath for a few seconds, then exhale normally.

5. Repeat as directed by your doctor or physiotherapist (usually several times a day).

Benefits

• Improves lung expansion and oxygen exchange

• Reduces risk of lung infections and complications after surgery

• Strengthens breathing muscles

• Enhances overall respiratory health

Precautions

• Use only as instructed by your doctor or physiotherapist.

• Clean the mouthpiece regularly to maintain hygiene.

• Do not overexert; increase use gradually.

• Not a substitute for medicines or inhalers prescribed for chronic lung conditions.
