Our Technology
Respiosa is a simple, cost effective, minimally invasive surgically implanted solution to provide optimal therapy for tongue-based OSA. Respiosa prevents the tongue from collapsing into the airway when patients sleep on their backs.
The Respiosa implant is implanted under local anesthetic in a simple 30 minute procedure and adjusted to therapeutic levels approximately 2-4 weeks after implantation. There are only low levels of pain associated with the recovery from this procedure. The implant is permanent and well tolerated. Since Respiosa is natural and unobtrusive, patients don’t feel the implant, or interact with it, thus adherence is not an issue.
