Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

For those who suffer from moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea, but to not get a consistent benefit from CPAP, there is hope.

Our Otolaryngologist, Jennifer Tartaglia, MD, is specially-trained in the implantation of the Inspire Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulator.

Inspire works inside your body while you sleep to open your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully. It's a small device placed during a same-day outpatient procedure, and is an FDA-approved alternative to CPAP.

You may be a canididate for Inspire if:

  • You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea
  • You are unable to use or get consistent benefit from CPAP
  • You are not significantly obese
  • You are over the age of 18
