A device for acclimatising at altitude comprising a breathing mask defining a confined air space when it is placed on the face of a user. The mask comprising a suction valve to let the surrounding air enter inside the confined space when breathing in; an expiration valve to let air exit with a determined resistance, so as to create an overpressurisation of air in the confined space, when breathing out; and a sensor to establish information about the pressure of the confined space behind. The acclimatisation device in addition comprises a unit for processing the pressure information configured to establish a breathing characteristic of the user and compare it to at least one target value, in view of recommending to them an adjustment of the breathing mode thereof. A method for functioning this device is also provided.

A device is disclosed herein and includes a facemask, an outlet valve in fluid communication with the facemask, a grip positioned between the facemask and the outlet valve, and an inlet valve in fluid communication with the facemask. The inlet valve is positioned within the grip. The device is used in a method for treating hypoxia in a subject.

The invention relates to a respiratory therapy device (1) for treating the musculature of respiratory tracts, lung functions and/or mucous deposits in the lungs, nose and/or throat of a patient (2), consisting of a hollow body (3) in which at least one through-channel (4, 5) is provided, a mouthpiece or nosepiece (6) which is inserted into the hollow body (3) and which is connected to the patient (2) during the duration of the treatment by the respiratory therapy device (1), and consisting of at least one vibration body (11, 12) which is arranged in the interior of the hollow body (3) and which is caused to vibrate in an oscillating manner by the inhalation and/ or exhalation of the patient (2), wherein an oscillating, resistive and/or threshold-typical air pressure vibration occurs, the individual resistances during the inhalation and exhalation being adjustable specific to the patient and a modification or repositioning of the respiratory therapy device (1) not being required. This is solved in that a retaining body (13) is inserted into the hollow body (3), into which retaining body at least one opening (14) is integrated, in that a freely oscillating tongue (15) is fixed to the hollow body (13) in the region of the opening (14), by means of which tongue the opening (14) of the retaining body (13) is closed or opened in regions according to the air flows (7, 8) prevailing in the interior of the hollow body (3), in that the end face (9) of the hollow body (3) opposite the mouthpiece (6) is open, in that a stenosis (18) is inserted into said end face (9), into the shell surface (19) of which stenosis at least two passage openings (20) are provided through which the air flows (7, 8) flow into the interior of the hollow body (3) or vice versa, in that the passage openings (20) of the stenosis (18) have different cross-sectional areas than air passages for the air flows (7, 8) and that the stenosis (18) is rotatably mounted in the hollow body (3), such that one of the passage openings (20) can be selected or adjusted as an air passage by rotating the stenosis (18).

A breath training device to assist a user in conscious breathing and breathing exercises. The device includes a vibratory motor that can generate vibration pulses at predefined intervals that corresponds to the vibration rhythm pattern set by the user. The user can coordinate the breathing based on the vibration pulses. A timing circuitry to close the device after a predefined duration can also be provided. The device is customizable, wherein the vibration rhythm pattern, intensity of vibration pulses, and predefined duration can be modified.

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a tongue exercise apparatus for snoring prevention, wherein the apparatus can be useful for exercising the tongue in order to prevent snoring. A tongue exercise apparatus according to the present disclosure is a tongue exercise apparatus that a user can hold by hand and use to perform tongue exercises, the apparatus comprising: a handle which the user can hold by hand; a tooth engagement part which extends from the end of the handle and has an engagement groove that can engage with the ends of the teeth of the user; and an exercise assistant part which is connected to the tooth engagement part so as to be able to enter the mouth of the user, and has a protrusion portion that protrudes, in a direction intersecting with the direction in which the tooth engagement part extends from the handle, so that the tongue of the user can contact the protrusion.
