Upper Airway Stimulation Therapy is an advanced, fully implanted system, which delivers small impulses to key airway muscles during sleep to keep them activated and prevent collapse. This device functions with three components: a small generator, a breathing sensor, and a stimulation lead.
The therapy is activated nightly by the patient and deactivated upon awakening, allowing the patient to retain full control of the device.
This unique approach to the treatment of OSA has resulted in resolution of OSA in those patients who do not want CPAP and would like an alternative to traditional airway surgery.
