Inspire Technology
Have you struggled with sleep apnea, restless nights, and a noisy CPAP machine that hasn’t helped? Baton Rouge General Louisiana Sleep Foundation offers a mask-free solution for people with sleep apnea who have tried and struggled with CPAP. Inspire therapy uses a small device to send a signal to the nerve that controls your tongue and upper airway, tightening them while you sleep. Inspire improves airflow and reduces obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
The Inspire therapy system includes a small implant placed during a minor surgical procedure, a remote, and an easy-to-use app. It is also the only FDA-approved OSA therapy that works comfortably inside the body, Inspire allows you to control your treatment from the palm of your hand.
Inspire Implant:
The Inspire implant keeps your airway open while you sleep, so you can breathe and sleep regularly. The implant is small as it delivers gentle pulses to your airway muscles to keep your airways open so you can breathe throughout your sleep.
The Remote:
The remote turns on your therapy when you’re ready to sleep. No mask or hose is required.
The App:
The Inspire app tracks your sleep goals and allows you to share data with your doctor.

- Must be 18 years old or older
