Tongue Retention Sleeve for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
The Tongue Retention device was created to help mitigate snoring. Through the use of suction, it allows the tongue to come forward while sleeping, which opens the airway and decreases the difficulty of breathing during the night.
- General Details
This device was created to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) as well as help mitigate snoring. It features a low profile sleeve designed to slide around the tongue. It is much smaller and less obtrusive than current forms of OSA treatment. Through the use of suction, it allows the tongue to come forward while sleeping, which opens the airway and decreases the difficulty of breathing during the night. This device can also be used in the diagnosis of OSA and can be used in surgical procedures to maneuver the tongue and open the airway.
