POWERbreathe IMT Plus Series

POWERbreathe IMT Plus Series

Manufacturer: POWERbreathe

Description

The POWERbreathe Plus series is the next step in inspiratory muscle training (IMT), designed to strengthen inspiratory muscles and improve breathing stamina. Evolving from the Classic model, the Plus model is POWERbreathe’s second generation of mechanical IMT breathing devices and features several design advancements. Its optimised airflow ensures effective training, and with 11 adjustable resistance levels, resistance can be increased as users’ inspiratory muscles strengthen. The Plus’s ergonomic mouthpiece, softer and more refined than its original design, ensures comfort during use.

The Plus series includes four models, Light, Medium, and Heavy resistance, designed for home use to boost performance and stamina, and the Medic Plus with a lower entry-level load for clinical use.

The IMT with the PowerBreathe Plus Series can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with pulmonary rehabilitation, with or without supervision, and can be easily used straight out of the box.

Device uses

The POWERbreathe Plus Series of Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) breathing trainers are designed to strengthen inspiratory breathing muscles, and increase breathing stamina. The POWERbreathe IMT devices create a resistance to the in-breath using a precisely calibrated, spring–loaded ‘pressure threshold’ valve – like a dumbbell for the diaphragm.
