Medical breath analysis company, Bedfont Scientific has launched an incentive spirometer, Breathacise.

Through deep breathing exercises, the Breathacise can be used to measure, train, and improve lung capacity. Its intended use is for aiding a healthy lifestyle, endurance training and exercise, or to help with recovery after surgery.

Research shows that exercising your lungs with an incentive spirometer retrains them to take slow deep breaths, increasing your lung capacity. This, in turn, helps improve your ability to breathe as it keeps your alveoli inflated. Keeping your alveoli inflated and working properly helps your lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide more effectively.

Jason Smith, managing director at Bedfont, said: “It’s an uncertain time for small businesses right now we’ve got to be adaptable, which is why the launch of our Breathacise incentive spirometer is very exciting. Not only is Breathacise a new respiratory venture for us, but it is also a product that can help with pulmonary recovery – something that is much needed at this time.”
