CPAP Not Working For You? Request an Appointment to Discuss Alternative Treatment Options.
The hypoglossal nerve stimulator is an FDA-approved implant that delivers upper airway stimulation synchronized to your breathing to relieve obstruction during sleep. This is an alternative treatment option for certain patients with obstructive sleep apnea who haven’t had success with CPAP.
You might be a candidate for upper airway stimulation if you:
- Are at least 18 years of age
- Have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (AHI 15-65 with <25% central and mixed apnea)
- Are unable or unwilling to use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP)
- Have a BMI less than 32 (most commercial insurance plans), BMI less than 35 (Medicare)
