Inspire® Therapy

Inspire therapy is a maskfree solution for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have tried and struggled with CPAP. Through a simpletouse system including the Inspire® implant, Inspireremote and Inspire® app, Inspire therapy enables you to control your OSA treatment from the palm of your hand.


How does Inspire® Therapy work?

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.

Your journey begins with a consultation with an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist who will evaluate whether Inspire therapy is the right option for you. If you’re a good candidate, you’ll then be referred to a Sleep Medicine specialist to continue your care.
