Inspire Sleep Apnea Therapy in San Francisco

What is Inspire® therapy?

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, InspireTM remote and Inspire® app, Inspire therapy enables you to control your OSA treatment from the palm of your hand. Call our clinic to schedule a consultation today!

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 comfortably 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.
