Respiratory Therapy Equipment: Trusted Tools for Respiratory Care

There are many reasons a person might need respiratory therapy equipment, but in general, patients who have chronic breathing difficulties need to make sure they have the equipment and medications needed to manage their condition. The conditions that are most common for causing breathing issues include cardiopulmonary illnesses such as COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, pneumonia, and cystic fibrosis. Each of these can result in a persistent cough, wheezing, and chest pain, which requires a doctor's care. For those who manage their breathing problems with respiratory equipment, Honest Medical carries a wide range of respiratory therapy equipment including the following:

• Tubing: Honest Medical carries a variety of respiratory therapy tubing including oxygen supply tubing, aerosol tubing, and specialized ventilator circuits that deliver breathing gases or oxygen. Other types include CPAP tubing, suction tubing that removes secretions, and heated circuits for high-flow nasal cannula tubing.
• Spirometers: There are two types of spirometers: a diagnostic spirometer, which is used to measure airflow and volume, and an incentive spirometer, which is used to help patients who have had surgery take slow, deep breaths. This keeps their lungs active and prevents complications after surgery such as pneumonia. HonestMed offers a variety of spirometers as well as many spirometer accessories. Spirometers measure forced vital capacity (FVC), which measures the volume of air exhaled forcefully after a deep breath, and forced expiratory volume, which measures the amount of air forced out in the first second of exhaling. Respiratory therapists use spirometers to diagnose and treat patients with breathing issues.
• Tracheostomy Supplies: A tracheostomy establishes an open and secure airway by creating a stoma directly into the trachea. It is used when normal airways are blocked — for instance, because of a tumor, after some surgeries, due to muscle weakness or paralysis, or for a range of other reasons. A tracheostomy can be a temporary airway or, in some cases, a permanent solution. Having the right supplies is critical, including tracheostomy tubing accessories, inner cannulas, obturators, suction catheters for removing secretions, and many other supplies.
• Oxygen Cylinders and Supplies: Honest Medical offers a variety of oxygen supplies for those who depend on oxygen to boost breathing. This includes oxygen cylinders, oxygen cylinder carts so users can remain mobile, and stationary racks and holders. You will also find other accessories such as shoulder bag holders, filter kits, outer and inner cannulas, specialized collars to keep the trachea tubes in place, and more.
