Looking for items that can help you find breathing relief this winter? Between the dry air and many circulating respiratory illnesses, it is important to monitor signs of breathing difficulty so you can start treatment as quickly as possible. Here are the seven top-recommended supplies to keep on-hand for soothing respiratory relief when you need it.
1) Pulse Oximeter
Before you notice symptoms of a respiratory illness or reduced lung capacity, you can see a decline in your blood oxygen levels with a pulse oximeter. This device is painless and easy to place on your finger to get an infrared reading you can then use to inform your doctor. Pulse oximeters are also useful for monitoring your blood oxygen levels with ongoing respirtaory conditions or athletic training to see if any noteable variance is occuring.
2) Clean Air Purifiers and Filters
Another preventative device that can keep everyone breathing easier throughout the year is an air purifier. Our Honeywell True HEPA Tower removes 99.97% of microscopic allergens as well as many odors, VOCs, and certain airborne germs from the air. Plus, it is Energy Star® qualified and offers easy tap controls, automatic shut-off timers, and four cleaning levels including a germ, allergen and turbo power level. Choose from two available sizes or ask our friendly customer service representatives for assistance by calling 1-800-278 -0227.
3) Humidifiers
A humidifier turns water into a cool mist to add moisture to the air. This is especially helpful during the winter or anytime you feel your nose, throat, eyes, or skin is dry. We carry two of the most widely used and trusted humidifiers, the Vicks® Ultrasonic and the Vicks® Healmist. Both hold a large 1.2 gallons of water and operate quietly to remove impurities from the water and disperse a fine clean mist of moisture into the air. Our favorite thing about the Vicks® Ultrasonic is that it comes with a Vicks® vapor scented pad insert for an optional menthol inhaling feature that provides your nasal passages with a cooling effect. What we love about the Vicks® Healmist is it also removes up to 93% of the dust, pollen, odors, and tobacco smoke from the air with its exclusive Kaz DynaFilter Air Cleaning Filter.
4) Vaporizers
Basically, a vaporizer is a humidifier with a heating element to produce a warm steam instead of the cool mist from the humdifier and an option to add medicine. Our KAZ® Vaporizer with Safety-Light offers a bacteria-free vapor that won't leave a white residue for up to 10 hours of continual use. Then, add your prescribed medication to the included container for a more powerful acting combination. Plus, at only $19.99 per unit, our prices are lower than the big box stores!
5) Compressor Nebulizer
If you do require medication from your physician to treat your respiratory symptoms, you may be asked to used a compressor nebulizer for a more directed dose of your prescription. A compressor nebulizer is a machine that can take liquid medicine and disperse it into fine particles you can breathe into your lungs much like a vaporizer. However, the nebulizer is not used for adding moisture to the air and it comes with a mouthpiece attachment to dispense the medication into the user's lungs. At Medical Supply Group, you will find a wide range of compressor nebulizers depending on the patient age and intended use in addition to accesories and cleaning supplies on our website.
6) Volumetric Exerciser
To expand your lung capacity, physicians may suggest a volumetric exerciser also known as an incentive spirometer. This is a device that measures the amount of air you take in and expell as you breathe through the mouthpiece. With this baseline and the goals clearly marked, you can work towards increasing the amounts by blowing into the device daily. On our easy-navigation website, you will find two volumetric exercisers. The first is called the Voldyne® 5000 Volumetric Exerciser, and you can scroll down to view the video to learn more about how to use this device to work on building your lung capacity. Our second slightly smaller device is the AirLife® Volumetric Incentive Spirometer. Determining the right device for your needs should be based on your physician's recommendations.
