FDA Clears Vivos Therapeutics' Breakthrough Sleep Apnea Treatment

Vivos Therapeutics has achieved a significant milestone with its first-ever 510(k) clearance from the FDA for the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults using its removable CARE oral appliances. This clearance allows Vivos to offer an alternative treatment option to patients with severe OSA, providing an alternative to CPAP therapy or surgical neurostimulation implants. It is the first time the FDA has granted approval for an oral appliance to treat both moderate and severe OSA in adults aged 18 and older. Vivos Therapeutics aims to improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from sleep apnea by providing effective and accessible treatment options.

New Solution Discovered to Bypass CPAP Machines by Australian Researchers

Australian researchers have developed a new approach to treat sleep apnoea, a condition that causes people to stop breathing multiple times during the night. Instead of starting with the often cumbersome Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine, the researchers recommend using oral appliances, or dental splints, to hold the tongue in place and keep the airway open. If the splints don't work, alternate therapies such as oxygen therapy and "novel medications" are added. This new approach has shown impressive results, with almost all participants being successfully treated without the need for a CPAP machine.
