Inspire Sleep Apnea Treatment
Get back to your best sleep with this CPAP alternative.
Sleep apnea treatment without CPAP is here and we’re ready to help you get it! Inspire is the innovative obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) treatment option for those who cannot use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.
Center Pointe Sleep Associates is an Inspire Center of Excellence.
Inspire is an FDA-approved implantable device that works inside the body with a patient’s natural breathing process to treat sleep apnea. Mild stimulation opens the airway during sleep, preventing the tongue from blocking the airway and allowing oxygen to flow naturally. Inspire monitors your breathing while you sleep and only uses stimulation when necessary. The patient uses a small handheld remote to turn Inspire on before bed and off when they wake up.
The Inspire sleep apnea implant is made of a small battery and two small wires. It’s placed under the skin of the neck and chest through two or three small incisions during an outpatient procedure. Within a few days, you’re back to your normal activities. Often patients experience little or no pain that’s easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication.
Inspire is covered by most major insurance providers. The out-of-pocket cost will depend on your individual insurance plan.
