What is Inspire® therapy?
Inspire therapy is a mask-free1 solution for people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) who have tried and struggled with CPAP. Through a simple-to-use system including the Inspire® implant, remote and app, Inspire therapy enables patients to breathe regularly so they can sleep soundly.

“Put the patient first and you will never lose your way!”
Every OSA patient experience is different, but one aspect rings true for all—it’s excruciating to live with. When it comes to OSA treatment, CPAP is the standard of care. While it works for many, it doesn’t always work for everyone. When this happens, patients feel like they’re out of options and out of luck.
From its original founding in 2007, successful patient outcomes and care experiences have been the guiding tenants for Inspire. Dr. Glen Nelson, Inspire’s first chairman of the board, established the motto, “if we put the patient first, we will never lose our way.” This spirit guides us and has led to significant investment in the Inspire post market surveillance system. Putting the patient first requires a deep understanding of the experience today and a continuous focus on identifying ways to make the experience better all the time.
Dr. Glen D Nelson, Inspire Chairman of the Board (2007–2016)

Inspire is not for everyone. Talk to your doctor (or Talk to your patients) about risks, benefits and expectations associated with Inspire. Risks associated with the surgical implant procedure may include infection and temporary tongue weakness. In rare cases tongue paresis and atrophy may occur. Some patients may require post implant adjustments to the system’s settings in order to improve effectiveness and ease any initial discomfort they may experience.
