Inspire: Treatment for sleep apnea

Saint Luke's offers the Inspire® Upper Airway Stimulation system, an implantable nerve stimulator used to treat moderate to severe sleep apnea. The implantable pulse generator detects the breathing pattern and maintains an open airway with mild nerve stimulation. 

The implantation is a same-day outpatient surgery, with multiple follow-up appointments over a few months to determine the optimal settings. Talk to your primary care physician to see if Inspire is right for you.
