The European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress is one of the most significant events in the respiratory field, bringing together experts, professionals, and organizations from around the world to share knowledge, advancements, and innovations in the field of respiratory medicine. 

POWERbreathe is proud to be an active participant in this prestigious event. This year the ERS International Congress 2023 will take place at MiCo in Milan, Italy from 9 – 13 September, 2023.

Our booth will serve as a hub for networking, demonstrations, and discussions related to our cutting-edge products and services in the respiratory field. Here are some highlights of what you can expect at our booth:

• New products: last year in Barcelona we had an opportunity for the first time to showcase our new mucus clearance device Shaker Kids and two Expiratory Muscle Training devices: EX1 and Flow Ball Ultra. This year our team is bringing even more exciting news. Check out our Breathing Space and be the first one to know!
• Networking Opportunities: we believe in the power of collaboration. Come and meet our team, share your insights, and explore potential partnerships.
• Product demonstrations: our experts will be on hand to provide detailed demonstrations and answer any questions you may have.
• Educational Resources: we will be sharing informative materials, research papers, and resources on respiratory health and the latest industry trends.
• Promotional offers: come to our stand F08 to discuss your professional needs, and get to know how using POWERbreathe devices can benefit you and your patients.

Our stand can be found in the main exhibition area (Hall 3), stand number – F08.

Research studies and scientific articles

At our core, we are dedicated to improving respiratory health and the quality of life for individuals affected by respiratory conditions. Therefore, we want to share with you a list of research studies and scientific articles about the benefits of Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Training.

Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT)
