What is Inspire® Therapy?

Inspire® therapy is a small device implanted under the skin that works with your body to treat obstructive sleep apnea. It monitors your breathing while you sleep and gently stimulates the hypoglossal nerve to keep your airway open. You control it with a small remote before going to bed — no mask, no hose.

Benefits of Inspire® Therapy

Compared to CPAP for Appropriate Patients

The Evaluation Process

Consultation

We'll discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals.

Sleep Study Review

We review your sleep study (or order a new one if needed) to confirm your diagnosis and severity.

Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy (DISE)

When indicated, a DISE is performed while you are asleep to evaluate your airway and confirm candidacy.

The Implantation Procedure

Inspire® is implanted in a short outpatient procedure, usually under general anesthesia.

The small device and leads are placed under the skin to gently stimulate the nerve that controls your tongue, helping to keep your airway open while you sleep.

Most patients go home the same day.
