If you have obstructive sleep apnea, a peaceful slumber can feel like chasing a dream. Implantable nerve stimulation may be an option if you have moderate to severe sleep apnea and can’t tolerate using a CPAP machine. The small implanted device uses a gentle pulse to keep the airway open. And it usually stops snoring, too.
About Implantable Nerve Stimulation
We use the only FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea treatment that works inside your body to treat the root cause of sleep apnea with just the click of a button.
The device works inside your body while you sleep. It’s placed during a same-day, outpatient procedure. When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn it on. While you sleep, the nerve stimulation opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully without a mask, hose, or machine.
