How Inspire® therapy works
Inspire is designed to fit your lifestyle – not the other way around.
When you’re breathing better, you’re sleeping better
Inspire therapy is the first FDA-approved obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) therapy that works comfortably1 inside your body.
The small Inspire® implant delivers gentle pulses to your airway muscles to keep your airway open so you can breathe regularly and sleep soundly.
When we sleep, our airway muscles and tongue relax. For people with OSA, the tongue relaxes into a position that blocks the airway.
When your airway is blocked you get less oxygen to your brain, triggering you to wake up to take a breath. This cycle happens repeatedly, preventing quality sleep.
The Inspire implant delivers gentle pulses that move your tongue out of the way each time you take a breath, keeping your airway open while you sleep soundly. No mask or hose required.

Safe outpatient procedure
99.6% of Inspire implant procedures were successfully completed without any major complications, according to the largest real-world Inspire therapy study.3
The small Inspire implant is placed near your collarbone during an approximately 60-minute outpatient procedure. After the procedure, most people require nothing more than over-the-counter pain medication, and within a few days, can resume non-strenuous activities.
