Implanted device to treat apnea
CBS Pittsburgh is reporting about a new implanted device called Inspire. The patient featured in the article struggled with CPAP and dental solutions.
The device is compared to a pacemaker, with an electrode that moves the tongue to enable breathing to resume.
Inspire was approved by the FDA in May so it is a new player on the sleep apnea landscape.
It's worth keeping an eye on to see if it takes off.
