What is Inspire Sleep Apnea?
Inspire Sleep Apnea is a minimally invasive treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). OSA is a sleep disorder that occurs when the airway collapses during sleep, causing shallow or interrupted breathing. This can lead to several health problems, including daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
How does Inspire Sleep Apnea work?
The Inspire device is a small, implantable device that is placed under the skin in the chest. The device sends mild electrical pulses to the tongue nerve, which helps to keep the airway open during sleep. The device is controlled by a remote control that the patient wears on their wrist.
Who is a good candidate for Inspire Sleep Apnea?
Inspire Sleep Apnea is a good option for people with moderate to severe OSA who have not been able to tolerate or have not been successful with other treatment options, such as CPAP. The device is also a good option for people who are not able to use CPAP because of their lifestyle or medical conditions.

The benefits of Inspire Sleep Apnea include:
- Improved sleep quality

What are the risks of Inspire Sleep Apnea?

What is the cost of Inspire Sleep Apnea?
