SKU: 8884717395

Category: Inhalation Therapy / Respiratory Exerciser

Overview

Elevate your respiratory care offerings with the Medtronic RESPIFLO FS—a streamlined, single-patient flow incentive spirometer that effectively supports postoperative recovery and pulmonary therapy. Designed for simplicity and motivated use, RESPIFLO FS encourages slow, sustained inhalation to promote lung expansion and reduce the risk of atelectasis and other complications.   

Why It Matters

• Encourages deep, sustained inhalation (SMI): Ideal for patients after thoracic or abdominal surgery, or those with COPD, pneumonia, or asthma. 

• Visual progress indicator: Colored balls visibly rise and remain suspended—offering clear feedback on inspiratory flow and motivating ongoing use. 

• Resolves shallow breathing: Helps patients restore natural respiratory depth, even when discomfort limits spontaneous deep breaths. 

Key Features

Feature	Description
Flow Incentive Mechanism	Targets appropriate inspiratory flow, preventing excessive inhalation speeds via a three-ball system.
