What is Inspire® Therapy?

Inspire® Therapy is a small, implantable device that works seamlessly with your natural breathing process. Unlike CPAP machines, which rely on continuous airflow, Inspire® Therapy stimulates your airway muscles to keep them open while you sleep. This means no more uncomfortable masks, noisy machines, or air leaks that disrupt your slumber.

How It Works

Inspire® Therapy treats obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a condition where the airway becomes partially or completely blocked during sleep. This blockage causes interrupted breathing, leading to poor sleep quality and various health issues.

The Inspire® device is implanted during a simple outpatient procedure. Once in place, it continuously monitors your breathing patterns during sleep. When it detects an impending blockage, it delivers mild stimulation to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the tongue and other key airway muscles. This stimulation gently moves the tongue and other tissues away from the airway, allowing for unobstructed breathing.

The best part?

Inspire® Therapy adapts to your unique breathing patterns, ensuring that it only activates when necessary. This means you can enjoy a full night’s sleep without even realizing the device is there.
