How to Choose the Right Incentive Spirometer for You

Therapy Based or Athletic Based:

Therapy Based: A therapy based Spirometer comes equipped with an indicator, such as a suspension ball or sliding incentive indicator that allows the user to monitor their progress and to encourage overall improvement. Some have tubing, a base and built-in handle. These are most useful for pre or post-op patients to improve rehabilitation results or for those who typically suffer from breathlessness and difficulty with physical activity.
Athletic Based: an athletic based Spirometer are reusable, washable and compact to keep with you during the day for frequent use. These spirometers are useful for athletes or those who are in good physical condition, but would like to increase lung capacity and maximize oxygen intake.

Resistance Level

Low Resistance: is ideal for pre or post-op patients who are looking to exercise the lungs or encourage deeper breathing and lung capacity. These spirometers are often equipped with incentive and progress indicators.
Variable Resistance: some models allow you to alter the resistance, for integral progress.
High Resistance: is ideal for athletes or for those who are in good physical condition, but would like to increase lung strength and capacity.

Long or Short-Term Use:

Short-Term Use: For short-term use, single-patient, disposable, therapy based spirometers work well for patients to be able to keep with them and use for pre or post-op therapy.
Long-Term Use: For long-term use, an athletic based spirometer can be handy to keep with you. These are more compact, washable and reusable.
