Inspire therapy is a long-term, mask-free solution for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have tried and struggled with CPAP.
Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep apnea and affects roughly 30 million Americans, but only six million are diagnosed. It occurs when the tongue relaxes back into your airway while you sleep which causes your airway to close. This causes you to wake up and gasp for air.
Through a simple-to-use system including the Inspire® implant, Inspire™ remote and Inspire® app, Inspire therapy enables you to control your OSA treatment from the palm of your hand.
OSA therapies like CPAP use a mask and hose to force air through your airway. Inspire therapy works comfortably inside your body and syncs with your natural breathing pattern.
Then, it uses gentle pulses to move your tongue forward to keep your airway open. When your airway is open, you’re able to breathe regularly and sleep better. No mask or hose needed.
Simply use the small handheld Inspire™ remote to turn your therapy on when you’re ready to sleep!
