Have you been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) but found that CPAP therapy just doesn’t work for you? There may be an alternative solution to help relieve your sleep apnea symptoms.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) occurs when the soft tissue in your airway collapses during sleep, blocking oxygen from reaching your brain. The brain detects the lack of oxygen and briefly wakes you up to breathe. This cycle repeats throughout the night, preventing you from getting the quality sleep you need. If left untreated, OSA can lead to serious health complications.
There are several treatment options for sleep apnea. CPAP therapy is the most commonly used, but it’s not effective for everyone. Other options include oral appliances and surgeries that alter the anatomy.
Inspire therapy is a surgical procedure that offers a mask-free solution for those with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have struggled with CPAP. Through a simple-to-use system including the Inspire® implant, remote and app, Inspire therapy enables you to control your OSA treatment from the palm of your hand.
During sleep, your tongue relaxes. For people with OSA, your tongue relaxes into a position that blocks your airway. While other OSA therapies use a hose and mask to force air through your airway, the Inspire implant works comfortably2 inside your body to sense when you take a breath. Then, it delivers gentle pulses that move your tongue forward to keep your airway open, helping you breathe regularly and sleep soundly. Simply use the small handheld Inspire® remote to turn your therapy on when you’re ready to sleep.
The Inspire implant keeps your airway open while you sleep, so you can breathe regularly and sleep soundly.
The handheld Inspire remote simply turns on your therapy when you’re ready to sleep. No mask or hose required.
