Years ago they gave those out post op. Respirometer, or respimat. Don't know current name.

Now they use a 'flutter or acapella'. You can buy them online cheaper than from oxygen providers.

They are washable, but need replacement at 6 months to a year. Cant remember.

Hope this helps.

Prayers and blessings and hugs.
