Spirometers
@A MyCOPDTeam Member
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.

oh i had one of those until i moved then it got lost..sorry i dont know the name of it...but its suppose to help you strenthen your lungs.
Do not know the name but they told me had to use that with COPD ... then another came in and said NO >>>> do not use with COPD> so, off I went.
It does help, but we always put it away..
