PN Medical The Breather respiratory muscle trainer device
The Breather by PN Medical is a handheld respiratory muscle training device that lets you exercise the muscles you use to breathe in and out. You breathe through it against resistance that you set yourself.
It has separate inspiratory and expiratory dials, so each direction can be set on its own, and PN Medical suggests starting both at level 1. The device is lightweight at about 1.6 oz, and the maker says it can be used in any position.
The Breather is for one user and should not go in the dishwasher. PN Medical lists cautions for conditions such as untreated pneumothorax, recent oral or facial surgery, and middle ear problems, so check with your clinician before you start.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
What does The Breather do?
It is an inspiratory and expiratory respiratory muscle training device. You breathe through it against adjustable resistance to exercise the breathing muscles.
Can I set inhale and exhale resistance separately?
Yes. The inhale and exhale dials are adjusted independently. PN Medical suggests starting both at the easiest level (number 1 aligned with the arrow).
How often do I train?
PN Medical's general protocol calls for 6 days per week, twice a day, with 2 sets of 10 full breaths per session. Follow your clinician's advice.
How do I clean it?
Do not put it in the dishwasher. PN Medical warns the heat may affect how it works. Follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions.
Who should check with a clinician first?
PN Medical lists cautions for active hemoptysis, untreated pneumothorax, recent esophageal surgery, acute upper airway stenosis, recent oral, facial or skull trauma or surgery, acute sinusitis, epistaxis, hemodynamic instability, and tympanic membrane rupture or acute middle ear pathology.
Any side effects?
The guide lists transient lightheadedness or dizziness at the start of training and mild fatigue. After extreme respiratory distress, wait for medical clearance before restarting. Small parts may be a choking hazard for children.
