Sleep Apnea
Inspire® V™ System Sleep Apnea Innovation
Treat Sleep Apnea Without a Mask
Mercy ENT offers Inspire therapy, a treatment option for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This innovative solution can offer relief to sleep apnea sufferers who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
How It Works
Inspire delivers mild stimulation to key airway muscles, allowing the airway to open during sleep. You simply turn on Inspire with a handheld remote before bed.
Throughout the night, the device continually monitors your breathing patterns, issuing stimulation as needed. When you wake up, you use the remote to turn off the therapy.
You May Be a Candidate for Inspire if:
- You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
- You are unable to use or get consistent benefit from CPAP.
- You are not significantly obese.
- You are over the age of 18.
Reasons to Choose Inspire to Treat Sleep Apnea:
- Alternative to CPAP
- FDA Approved
- Covered by most commercial, Medicare and VA insurance plans
