How InspireTM Therapy Works
Inspire TherapyTM is the only FDA-approved OSA treatment that works comfortably inside the body.
- During sleep, the airway muscles and tongue relax. For people with OSA, the tongue relaxes into a postition that blocks the aireway.
- When the airway is blocked the brain gets less oxygen, triggering a person to wake up to take a breath. This cycle happens repeatedly, preventing quality sleep.
- The InspireTM implant delivers gentle pulses that move the tongue out of the way each time a person takes a breath, keeping the airway open during sleep. No mask or hose required.
