Coach 2 adult volume incentive spirometer (Portex)

Description

The Coach 2 adult incentive spirometer from Portex is a key tool for respiratory rehabilitation, specially designed to encourage recovery and maintain lung capacity.

It is particularly useful for adult patients who have undergone cardiac, abdominal or thoracic surgery after which they experience respiratory muscle weakness. It is also widely used by patients with chronic respiratory conditions such as COPD or cystic fibrosis, who need to exercise this musculature. It can be used in rehabilitation centres, hospitals and, after proper training, also at home.

Use of the Coach 2 incentive spirometer helps patients to adopt a more physiological respiratory pattern with lower respiratory frequency and increased lung volume in order to reduce the risk of air entrapment. This reduces respiratory effort and the dyspnoea commonly experienced by such patients.

The Portex device has an ergonomic design, with a robust handle to hold the spirometer during therapy and a hook to hang it up afterwards. In the centre is the graduated scale with volumes ranging from 500 ml up to 4000 ml. It also has a mouthpiece and a corrugated tube through which to breathe. It is completely transparent, allowing the patient to see the volume of air they are inhaling in real time. This is essential to motivate patients, as they can follow their progress and set achievable targets.

For patients who require oxygen therapy, the Coach 2 incentive spirometer has a port to connect supplemental oxygen during treatment.

As it is made from high-quality transparent PVC, the Coach 2 meets the health and safety standards required in medical environments. It is simple to clean and disinfect, ensuring safe, prolonged use. Thanks to its small size and lightness, it is easy to transport and store.
