Breathing tool

This breathing device is given to the patient after the surgery for the breathing exercises. It keeps the patient from getting pneumonia if I remembered correctly. Basically you inhale and then exhale into the tube, keeping inhaling steady to hold this floating object in between these two markers. The cylindrical body shows you the volume measurement of your inhaled air. This exercise has to be done a few times a day, each time consist of 10-15 inhaling/exhaling repetitions. The following are two breathing devices. They are basically the same except with different colors and slight variation in shapes.

From second surgery:
Clear Breathing Device

From first surgery:
Blue Breathing Device

I have not used them for a long time but I think I will start again to keep my lung in shape for the upcoming snowboarding trips!
