James Collins, a 29-year-old with severe sleep apnea, successfully treated his condition with an implantable device called Inspire, which is a mask-free alternative to CPAP, significantly improving his sleep quality and daily life.
Air Force Veteran Deanna King, who struggled with fatigue and exhaustion due to obstructive sleep apnea, found relief and improved health after receiving the Inspire device, a nerve stimulator placed under the skin, at the Michael E. DeBakey VA in Houston. The device, suggested by Dr. Supriya Singh, works with the patient's natural breathing process to treat sleep apnea by stimulating the tongue and palate to open up the airway. The procedure to implant the device is minimally invasive, and King now enjoys improved sleep quality and plans to travel in her retirement, highlighting the positive impact of the latest technology in treating sleep disorders for Veterans.
Idaho Falls resident Paul Lopez, who was diagnosed with sleep apnea, found relief with a new device called Inspire, which stimulates the tongue and palate to open up the airway. The device is a breakthrough obstructive sleep apnea treatment option for those who cannot use Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy. The medical procedure lasts about two hours and consists of one incision under the jaw where an electrode is placed. Lopez says there is a huge difference between his quality of life before and after Inspire.
