Suffering From Sleep Apnea? Meet Inspire
Inspire works inside the body with a patient’s natural breathing process to treat sleep apnea. Inspire delivers mild stimulation to key airway muscles, allowing the airway to open during sleep. The patient uses a small handheld remote to turn Inspire on before bed and off when they wake up. No mask, no hose, just sleep.
Inspire is controlled by the patient using the small, handheld Inspire Sleep Remote. The remote is used to turn Inspire on before bed and off in the morning. Additionally, the patient can pause therapy during the night if needed and increase/decrease therapy settings.
Inspire therapy was FDA-approved in 2014 and, as of June 2026, is used by over 130,000 people worldwide.
Inspire is for people who:
- Have been diagnosed with moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, specifically an Apnea-Hypopnea Index (i.e. the number of times they stop breathing each hour) between 15 and 100
- Are unable to use or get consistent benefit from CPAP
- Are not significantly overweight
- Are over age 18

The Inspire Procedure:
The Inspire system consists of a small neurogenerator and a lead. It is placed under the skin through two minor incisions during an outpatient procedure. Most patients return home the same day and return to non-strenuous activities within a few days. Over-the-counter pain medicine is typically used for a few days after the procedure for pain management.
