The Frolov’s Respiration Training Device is an original portable device designed for breathing exercises, inhalations and aromatherapy for the prevention, rehabilitation and treatment of various diseases, as well as for increasing the body's adaptive capabilities.

With the help of the simulator it is possible to carry out effective moistening of respiratory tracts, using various water-soluble and oil substances for improvement of phlegm expectoration, its dilution and reduction of bronchospasm.

Frolov's breathing simulator inhaler allows you to exercise the respiratory muscles with the creation of resistance in both the phase of inhalation and exhalation, which trains the pulmonary system in its entirety, improves the metabolism of organs and tissues and activates the body's reserve capacities.

The therapeutic and prophylactic effect of Frolov's breathing apparatus is provided by creation of inhaled gas mixture with moderately increased concentration of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) and moderately decreased content of oxygen (hypoxia), which stimulates immune and adaptive mechanisms. This is important to maintain health in conditions of adverse climatic and environmental factors, in stressful situations, to slow down the aging processes.

Frolov's breathing apparatus makes it possible to optimally select and control the load and intensity of inhalation and exhalation due to the stepped shape of the bottom and holes of different diameters in the inner container. The holes in the lower part of the internal container of Frolov's breathing simulator are different in size and located at different levels, which makes it possible to obtain air bubbles of different volumes, which significantly increases the micro-massage of bronchioles.

The inhaler trainer has a removable container for oils, located in the inner container, for aromatherapy and inhalation sessions. Its design allows for simultaneous inhalation with vapors of several immiscible essential oils and liquid medicines, which contributes to the moistening of the respiratory tract, improves the liquefaction and evacuation of sputum, relieves bronchospasm.



Frolov's simulator is used for:

- Bronchitis (acute, obstructive, recurrent) in the period of recuperation;
- Chronic bronchitis;
- Bronchial asthma (of light and medium-to-severe degree) in the period of unstable remission and between attacks;
- Eczema of the lungs;
- Chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CNSL);
- Hypertension;
- Stenocardia;
- Osteochondrosis;
- Hypertensive disease of the 1st and 2nd stage;
- Diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

It is forbidden to exercise on Frolov's breathing simulator when:

- Acute bleeding (with gastric and duodenal ulcers, hemorrhoids, uterine, etc.),
- Recurrent pulmonary bleeding and hemoptysis,
- Respiratory, cardiovascular, hepatic and renal insufficiency,
- Hypertensive crisis,
- The presence of donor organs-transplants, as well as implants in the body,
- Cancer diseases,
- Acute somatic and infectious diseases,
- Chronic diseases in the stage of acute exacerbation.

Accessories:

- Glass - 1 pc.
- Mouthpiece - 1 pc.
- Breathing tube - 1 pc.
- Lid - 1 pc.
- Oil reservoir* - 1 pc.
- Inner container - 1 pc.
- Measuring vessel - 1 pc.
- Data sheet combined with the user manual - 1 pc.

The outer cup (beaker) of the Device allows the trainees not only to perform breathing exercises with water resistance, but also to inhale medicinal herbs vapors and aromatic oils. The beaker is designed so that it is comfortable to hold during the exercise sessions.

2 Internal Container

The internal container is one of the principal parts of the Respiration Training Device. Carefully designed bottom of the Device and its orifices (with special focus on the diameters, multi-graded position, etc.) ensure gradual change of breathing resistance during the inhalation and exhalation. This also makes it possible to select an optimal mode of exercising for both healthy, well-trained people and seriously disabled patients, as well as for preschool children. The novel container design provides an easy way for customer parameters setting before the exercises.

3 Essential Oil Container

The oil container is an advanced part of the Respiration Device. The container helps to expand significantly the capabilities of the Respiration Training Device and to use it as an inhaler. The container’s inner space aerodynamics is so that to ensure the greatest effect of aromatherapy and essential oils inhalation.

Only little amount of oil is needed, and the oil is consumed 100%. Three separate oil compartments are in line with the latest aromatherapy techniques to separate essential oils vapors for better results of the aromatherapy.

4 Device Cover

The cover of the Respiration Training Device performs several important functions. First, the cover is the main connecting element of the Device structure. Depending on the accuracy of the assembly, the cover ensures safe fastening of all the elements of the Device in the assembled state. Second, the cover is a functional element providing the right proportion of the mixed air components in the Device during the exercises.

Orifices on the perimeter of the cover are responsible for the proper airflow circulation inside the Device during the breathing exercises. In aromatherapy sessions, the orifices keep the airflow above the essential oil container, thereby ensuring constant concentration of aromatic substances in the inhaled air.

5 Breathing Tube

The breathing tube is designed so that to give maximum comfort during the exercises. Its corrugated surface allows taking any posture and can be used when the patient lies. Moreover, the breathing tube is an element of the Device’s aerodynamic design, which lets additional air in as needed for air mixing and secures extra resistance during the exercises.

6 Device Mouthpiece

The novel ergonomic design of the mouthpiece lets you hold it with your lips easily and comfortably. The mouthpiece strains no facial muscles even in the prolonged (20 — 30 min) exercises; its use is comfortable for children and persons with different facial muscles defects (that might be caused by strokes, traumas and neuritis).

The mouthpiece is equally comfortable for use by children, adults and the elderly.
