The Lung Compressor, Air Compression Belt with Gauge is designed to put pressure just below the lungs to limit lung movement with respirations. The air bladder with a cotton cover is attached to a 60" (152.4 cm) long velcro belt which is wrapped snugly around the patient just below the sternal notch. Once the belt and air bladder are in position on the patient, the air bladder is manually inflated with a hand pump. The included pressure gauge is used to record the amount of pressure used to achieve the desired limits of lung movement. This allows for reproducibility of the same amount of pressure for each treatment fraction.

This item can be cleaned by hand using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent dissolved in water. DO NOT SOAK MATERIAL.  For stubborn spots or stains, use a soft brush and the solution. Allow material to air dry fully before reuse.

Note: Over inflation of the air bladder can cause seaming of the cotton cover to rip.
