Triflo II Incentive Spirometer

After surgery, anesthesia, or an extended stay in bed, the lungs don't always fully re-expand on their own — and shallow breathing invites complications like atelectasis and pneumonia. The Teleflex Triflo II Incentive Spirometer gives patients a simple, visual way to practice the slow, deep breaths that keep the lower airways open and clear.

The design is deliberately straightforward: three chambers, each holding a lightweight ball that rises as the patient inhales through the adult mouthpiece. Lifting one ball, then two, then all three corresponds to progressively greater inspiratory flow, so patients and clinicians get instant, motivating feedback on effort. There are no digital readouts to fuss with and nothing to charge — just breathe in steadily and watch the balls float.

Built from durable plastic, the Triflo II (model 8884717301) is designed for single-patient use, which matters for infection control in hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and home recovery alike. It's a common discharge item for post-operative patients, those managing COPD or other chronic respiratory conditions, and anyone whose mobility is limited enough to risk lung congestion.

Caregivers often ask how frequently it should be used — typically several sets of breaths every hour or two while awake, following the guidance of the attending clinician. Because the unit is lightweight and free-standing, it's easy to keep at the bedside as a visible reminder to keep breathing deeply throughout the day.

Teleflex is a long-established name in respiratory and critical-care products, and the Triflo II remains one of the most recognizable flow-oriented incentive spirometers used across the continuum of care. Whether you're stocking a recovery unit or preparing a patient to continue therapy at home, it delivers dependable, low-cost respiratory support.
