POWERbreathe Medic

POWERbreathe Medic is a Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) device scientifically proven to strengthen the respiratory muscles to reduce breathlessness, improve exercise tolerance and enhance the quality of life. 

POWERbreathe Medic is a Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) device scientifically proven to strengthen the respiratory muscles to reduce breathlessness, improve exercise tolerance and enhance quality of life in patients with major conditions such as COPD, asthma, heart failure, cystic fibrosis and neuromuscular disease. It can also be used after thoracic surgery and for ventilator weaning.

POWERbreathe Medic is suitable for almost everyone and when used properly you should notice an improvement in breathing efficiency in as litte as 4 weeks with no harmful side effects or drug interactions.

POWERbreathe Medic offers a pressure threshold training technique with adjustable 'light' training resistance (up to 9 adjustable training levels from 10-90cmH2o). It has a calibrated inspiratory load (light resistance) and resistor/training level indicator and can be used either as a standalone intervention or as part of a rehabilitation programme.

POWERbreathe Medic is fully washable.

POWERbreathe Medic contains:

• POWERbreathe Medic Classic Respiratory Muscle Trainer

The POWERbreathe Medic is our manually adjustable Inspiratory Muscle Training device that is approved for prescription in the UK by the NHS. It received approval after being rigorously assessed for clinical evidence, patient compliance and financial savings. It is drug-free with no side effects or drug interactions and clinically proven to alleviate breathlessness. It offers resistance to breathing in that is created by the adjustable spring-loaded valve.

This ‘load’ training is similar to weightlifting, and in the instance of the POWERbreathe Medic, provides an introductory level of load setting (weight lifted) in increments, from 10cmH2O to 90cmH2O. The range between each training level is quite small which means that as your breathing muscles become stronger and you move up one of the training levels by increasing the resistance, this small increase in cmH2O makes it more manageable.
