Loading... Please wait...The Inspire Model 2740 Complete Sleep Apnea System is an implantable Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) therapy system designed to treat moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), especially in patients who cannot tolerate CPAP therapy.
The Inspire system works by stimulating the hypoglossal nerve during sleep to keep the airway open. Unlike CPAP machines, it does not use a mask or hose.
The complete system typically includes:
The system senses breathing patterns and delivers mild electrical stimulation synchronized with inhalation.
