What is inspire sleep?

Question

My husband has severe sleep apnea, and we heard about something called 'Inspire sleep'. We're trying to gather information on all possible treatments. What exactly is this 'Inspire sleep'?

Suresh Gupta · Accepted Answer

It is basically a mask-free treatment alternative to CPAP machines. An implant is placed inside your body, and you turn it on with a remote control before going to bed. It is a very practical, albeit expensive, solution for those who cannot sleep with a tube on their face.

Inspire Sleep is a therapy for obstructive sleep apnea where a small device is surgically implanted under your collarbone. It senses your breathing and gently stimulates the airway muscles to stay open. My tip is to consult a sleep specialist to see if your throat anatomy is suitable for this implant.

Vikram Malhotra · Answer

Inspire Sleep is an FDA-approved upper airway stimulation therapy. It is designed specifically for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea patients who have struggled with CPAP. Whether this surgical option is right for you can only be determined after a thorough evaluation by an ENT specialist.

It refers to the Inspire therapy, which uses a small implanted device to prevent tongue blockages during sleep. It is a very effective and advanced option for people with severe snoring and choking issues. Make sure to get a proper sleep study done first before discussing this with a surgeon.

Arpita Sen · Answer

It's an implantable device that helps sleep apnea patients breathe normally without using a bedside machine. If you travel frequently for work and find carrying a CPAP machine highly inconvenient, this is definitely an option worth discussing with your doctor to save time and hassle.
