Inspire® Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Atlanta

If you struggle with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and CPAP therapy isn’t working for you, Inspire® therapy offers a breakthrough sleep apnea treatment. This FDA-approved, implantable device gently stimulates the airway muscles while you sleep, helping keep your airway open so you breathe naturally - without a mask or noisy machine.

How Inspire Therapy Works

Inspire® is a minimally invasive, implantable device placed during a short outpatient procedure. It works with your natural breathing to prevent airway collapse and restore restful sleep. Patients control the therapy with a small handheld remote, turning it on at bedtime and off in the morning.

Key features include:

• Outpatient procedure: Most patients return home the same day.
• CPAP alternative: Comfortable, internal support for your airway without a mask.
• Personalized therapy: Monitors your breathing and adjusts stimulation automatically.

Benefits of Inspire Therapy vs. CPAP

• Quiet, restorative sleep without bulky equipment.
• Simple remote control for easy daily use.
• Travel-friendly and low-maintenance compared to CPAP machines.
• Clinically proven to reduce apnea events and improve sleep quality.

Who is a Candidate for Inspire Therapy?

You may be a candidate if you:

• Have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
• Cannot tolerate or do not get consistent benefit from CPAP therapy.
