Incentive Spirometers

Incentive Spirometers are used to help measure respiration and oxygenation. To use an Incentive Spirometer, a patient takes a deep breath and breathes out into the Incentive Spirometer to help measure lung capacity. Regular practice of using the Incentive Spirometer can help strengthen a patient's respiration and improve their overall health. Incentive Spirometers can be used before and after physical activity, after certain surgeries, such as respiratory surgery, and to manage chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Incentive Spirometers help promote deep breathing exercises, encourage an individual to take good deep breaths and also help measure the amount of oxygen intake in the lungs.
