Electrolarynx ($300.00)– sometimes referred to as a "throat back", is a medical device about the size of a small electric razor used to produce clearer speech by those who have lost their voicebox, usually due to cancer of the larynx. They are all battery powered, but with one type of unit, you place it against your throat, push a button, and the machine transmits a vibration noise to your throat which you then form into words and sounds with your lips, teeth, and tongue. With the second type, the vibration sound is transmitted directly into your mouth via a small tube - words and sounds are made in a similar manner.
Ventilator ($700.00)– It is an appliance or aperture for ventilating a room or other space for artificial respiration; a respirator. It is a machine that supports breathing. Remove carbon dioxide from the body. (Carbon dioxide is a waste gas that can be toxic.) Help people breathe easier. Breathe for people who have lost all ability to breathe on their own. A ventilator often is used for short periods, such as during surgery when you're under general anesthesia, The term "anesthesia" refers to a loss of feeling and awareness. General anesthesia temporarily puts you to sleep. The medicines used to induce anesthesia can disrupt normal breathing. A ventilator helps make sure that you continue breathing during surgery. A ventilator also may be used during treatment for a serious lung disease or other condition that affects normal breathing. Some people may need to use ventilators long term or for the rest of their lives. In these cases, the machines can be used outside of the hospital—in long-term care facilities or at home. A ventilator doesn't treat a disease or condition. It's used only for life support. A ventilator is a device that aids or performs the breathing process for hospital patients whose respiratory function is impaired, such as individuals with lung injuries or those under general anesthesia. Most ventilators are highly complex, computerized machines that use a compression system to force air, which may be tempered with oxygen, into the patient’s lungs several times each minute. As this pressure ceases, the patient’s lungs automatically contract, expelling the air that has been pushed in by the machine. Patients who need only breathing assistance may be connected to a ventilator via a mask that covers the nose and mouth. Those fully unable to breathe on their own must be linked to the machine by a tube inserted into their trachea.
Respirator ($75.00)– Is an apparatus worn over the mouth and nose or the entire face to prevent the inhalation of dust, smoke, or other noxious substances. A respirator is a mask-like device that filters fine particles from inhaled air, while a ventilator is a machine that assists with or performs the breathing process for medical patients. Perhaps further adding to the confusion of the terms is the fact that ventilator professionals are known as respiratory therapists. a respirator does not perform any actual breathing function for its wearer. Instead, its purpose is to purify inhaled air before it enters the lungs by trapping harmful particles and fumes. A respirator usually takes the form of a partial or full face-mask that is secured in place with a strap. Its purification function is performed by a filter, which is fitted near the nose and mouth area. Sometimes known as “gas masks,” respirators are useful in a variety of situations in which air quality poses a health risk, from furniture refinishing to chemical warfare. Mechanical filter respirators retain particulate matter when contaminated air is passed through the filter material. This was the method used by early inventors such as Haslett and Tyndall. Wool is still used today as a filter, along with other substances such as plastic, glass, cellulose, and combinations of two or more of these materials. Since the filters cannot be cleaned and reused and therefore have a limited lifespan, cost and disposability are key factors. Single-use, disposable as well as replaceable cartridge models are common.
Nebulizer ($240.00)– a device for producing a fine spray of liquid, used for example for inhaling a medicinal drug. Ancient Egyptians inhaled fumes of herbs heated on bricks. In the 19th century cigarettes were used. Finally, after about a hundred years of experimenting, the first mass produced nebulizer was invented in 1969. The nebulizer has since become a lifesaver for many asthmatics. The concept here is quite simple: inhaled asthma medicines go directly to the lungs and may instantly relieve asthma symptoms. The nebulizer is simply a cup with a mouthpiece on the top (or a mask) and oxygen tubing on the bottom. The tubing is connected to an air compressor. When turned on, the air compressor provides a flow of air through a tiny hole in the cup so that liquid inside the cup is drawn into the flow, causing a fine, white mist. In this way, the nebulizer turns liquid into aerosols that are the perfect size for deposition into the lungs once inhaled. This process is called atomization, and this is why nebulizers used to be called atomizers.
Spirometer ($90.00) – an instrument for measuring the air capacity of the lungs. Breathing can be hard after you've had surgery, when you have a lung disease like COPD, or if you're on bed rest. You may find that you can only take small, shallow breaths. Breathing this way makes it harder to get air into your lungs and can cause fluid and mucus to build up in your lungs. This could cause a serious lung infection like pneumonia. Using an incentive spirometer can help you practice taking deep breaths, which can help open your airways, prevent fluid or mucus from building up in your lungs, and make it easier for you to breathe. An incentive spirometer is a handheld device that exercises your lungs and measures how much air you can breathe in. It tells you and your doctor how well your lungs are working. A flexible plastic tube is connected to a large and small air column. The large column has a piston or ball that moves up each time you breathe in. This column measures how much air you breathe in. Your effort is marked in units of milliliters. A smaller column measures your effort as "good," "better," or "best." Using an incentive spirometer is important, because it may help to:
