Inspire® therapy 

For more than a decade, Inspire® therapy has provided much-needed relief for people coping with sleep apnea. 

What is Inspire®? 

Inspire® is the first FDA-approved therapy for sleep apnea that works inside your body. It does not require a mask. The Inspire® implant helps keep your breathing airway open while you sleep.  

How it works 

During an outpatient procedure, a small implant is placed near the collarbone. Patients use a remote to turn the implant on when they go to bed, and it keeps the airway open as they rest, regulating their breathing and helping them sleep well. 

Benefits of Inspire® 

The creators of Inspire® report several benefits: 

  • 99.6% of the implantation procedures result in no major complications. 
  • 90% of bed partners report no snoring or soft snoring. 
  • 79% reduction in sleep apnea events. 
  • 91% of patients say Inspire® therapy is better than CPAP. 
  • 93% of patients recommend Inspire® therapy to a friend or family member.
