Treat the root cause of sleep apnoea.
Inspire® therapy works inside your body to treat the root cause of sleep apnoea with just the click of a button. Please contact an Inspire therapy-trained doctor at a participating hospital near you to find out more
How it Works
Inspire therapy is an alternative to CPAP that works inside your body while you sleep. When you’re ready for bed, simply click the remote to turn Inspire therapy on. While you sleep, Inspire therapy opens your airway, allowing you to breathe normally and sleep peacefully.
You might be a candidate for the Inspire therapy if…
You have moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnoea.
You are unable to use or get consistent benefit from CPAP.
You are not significantly obese.
You are age 18 or above.
Private Insurance Applies
An Inspire therapy-trained doctor can advise patients on the costs and reimbursement process during their consultation.
Major insurance providers have approved this treatment method on an individual basis. Alternatively, if patients are not covered by private insurance, other sources of funding are available for a limited period at selected hospitals.
Types of Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea is the most common type of sleep apnoea. It occurs when the tongue and other throat muscles relax during sleep, causing your airway to temporarily close.
Central Sleep Apnoea
Central Sleep Apnoea occurs when your brain forgets to breathe during sleep.
Complex or Mixed Sleep Apnoea
Complex Sleep Apnoea occurs when both obstructive sleep apnoea events and central sleep apnoea events occur during sleep.
Ways to Treat Sleep Apnoea
Airway Pressure Devices (e.g. CPAP)
