An incentive spirometer is a handheld device used in respiratory therapy to encourage patients to perform deep, sustained breathing exercises. These tools are primarily utilized to help prevent lung collapse following surgery and to assist in clearing airways by measuring the volume of air a patient can inhale.
These devices feature a visual indicator that tracks inspiratory effort through a mouthpiece and tubing system. They are designed for use by a single patient in both clinical settings and home environments and are intended to be reused throughout the course of treatment.
