The result is a reduction of breathlessness and coughing with chronic pulmonary and bronchial diseases.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Advantages of RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS as compared to RC-Cornet\u00ae&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Integrated combination therapy<\/strong><br \/> DThe PLUS model has an integrated connection for ISO-standard nebulisers, for simultaneous respiratory and inhalation therapy. A kit is available for connection of non-standard nebulisers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Four intensities per treatment form<\/strong><br \/> The two treatment forms for dilation of the respiratory tract, to reduce shortness of breath (I) and to clean the airways via the loosening of bronchial phlegm (II), each have four instead of two intensities in the case of RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS. In this manner, you can work with the device in a more accurate and individualised way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. More precise settings<\/strong><br \/> Furthermore, RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS has the advantage that its settings and resistances can be pre-set in a more accurate manner when all parts are clicked into place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Added safety<\/strong><br \/> The hose is always correctly positioned thanks to the centering dot and thus offers the highest level of therapy safety.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Breathing through the nose and mouth<\/strong><br \/> Thanks to the inhalation valve, the RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS offers the possibility of breathing through the nose or mouth. In general, breathing through the nose is preferred for moisturising purposes. However, this may not be possible for various reasons. Thus, the new PLUS device for breathing through the mouth does not need to be removed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Easier handling<\/strong><br \/> The new hose simplifies the handling and assembly, is easier to mount, and no longer requires an insertion aid. This simplifies handling and reduces waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Faster drying<\/strong><br \/> The new drying aid allows for faster drying of the hose \u2013 this saves time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Long-lasting hose<\/strong><br \/> The new design prevents the hose from rolling or kinking, and ensures that the hose is long-lasting (assuming good care and cleaning are provided).<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. The new shape improves function<\/strong><br \/> Thanks to the new housing design, use of the device is quieter and we feel that the respiratory therapy device is easier to grasp.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Inspiratory trainer included<\/strong><br \/> The top part of the RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS (without housing or hose) can be used in setting I as an inspiratory trainer. It allows for training of the \u201cpursed lips\u201d, which result in positive pressure in the bronchi (PEP). PEP breathing helps to slow down the exhalation and keeps the airways open for a longer time. In this manner, more air can be exhaled and irritation of the cough receptors is reduced.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Is there an instruction video for the RC-Cornet\u00ae PLUS?&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-bottom:1.5em\">Yes, you can easily find answers to all of your questions in our video:<\/p>\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iNTYwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjMxNSIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC9BVHNQamd4VXZsNCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/www.cegla.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_ATsPjgxUvl4_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\">\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\">\n<p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
