OxyBREATH™
Indications for Use
The OxyBREATH is a respiratory muscle trainer (RMT) used by patients with
COPD, CHF, Dysphagia, and Neuromuscular Disease. It trains both
inspiratory and expiratory muscles independently. Clinical benefits of RMT
include improved dyspnea, peak cough flow, laryngeal function, quality of
life, vent weaning, and speech and swallow performance.
