Innovative sleep therapy in Chicagoland

Inspire® therapy provides a first-of-its-kind alternative for those suffering from obstructive sleep apnea who are unable to use or get consistent benefit from a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine.

How Inspire® implant device works

This upper airway stimulation technology is a small, fully implanted device that senses breathing patterns and delivers mild and painless stimulation to keep the airways open during sleep. The Inspire® system consists of three implanted components, including a small generator, breathing sensor lead and stimulation lead, all controlled with a small handheld sleep remote. The remote allows you to turn Inspire® therapy on before bed and off when you wake up, increase and decrease stimulation strength, and pause during the night if needed.
