Inspire Therapy

Inspire® therapy for obstructive sleep apnea

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

How Inspire® therapy works

Inspire therapy is the only FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) therapy that works comfortably inside your body. 

The small Inspire® implant delivers gentle pulses to your airway muscles to keep your airway open so you can breathe regularly and sleep soundly.

• When we sleep, our airway muscles and tongue relax. For people with OSA, the tongue relaxes into a position that blocks the airway. 
• When your airway is blocked you get less oxygen to your brain, triggering you to wake up to take a breath. This cycle happens repeatedly, preventing quality sleep.
• The Inspire implant delivers gentle pulses that move your tongue out of the way each time you take a breath, keeping your airway open while you sleep soundly. No mask or hose required.

Is Inspire Right for You?

You may qualify for Inspire if you meet the following criteria:

• Over the age of 18
• Diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA
• Unable to use of get consistent benefit from CPAP
• Not significantly overweight
