IMT: Inspiratory Muscle Trainer
IMT is an abbreviation for Inspiratory Muscle Trainer. With the Philips Respironics Threshold IMT Respiratory Muscle Trainer, you can train your inspiratory muscles by breathing through the mouthpiece. With the separate available Threshold PEP, you can train your expiratory muscles to loosen stuck mucus.
Less shortness of breath thanks to trained inspiratory muscles
The respiratory trainer is a perfect tool to increase your respiratory muscle strength. When you inhale through the device, the spring-loaded valve on the inside provides pressure. This allows you to breathe deeper and more powerfully. You are less likely to be short of breath, which has a positive effect on your general well-being. You can also use the Threshold IMT in combination with a mask (not included).
Easy to use
The pressure of the Threshold IMT is easily adjustable in cm H2O. You can determine the correct pressure with your doctor or physical therapist. Click the mouthpiece on the Threshold IMT. During training (in any body position!) it is important to put the nose clip on your nose. After use you can easily clean the device with warm water and liquid mild soap. Then rinse well under the tap and let it dry. From a hygienic point of view, it is recommended to keep it for personal use only.
