Inspire Therapy

Inspire is an FDA-approved, implantable device that treats obstructive sleep apnea from inside the body. SPRING ENT offers Inspire as an innovative alternative for patients who can’t tolerate traditional CPAP therapy.

What Is Inspire Therapy & When Should You Seek It Out?

Inspire Therapy is a breakthrough treatment option for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), particularly in patients who are unable to use or tolerate CPAP machines. Unlike CPAP, which delivers air through a mask, Inspire works inside the body while you sleep by delivering gentle stimulation to key airway muscles, helping to keep the airway open and prevent breathing interruptions.

You may be a candidate for Inspire Therapy if you:

  • Have been diagnosed with moderate to severe OSA
  • Cannot tolerate or get consistent benefit from CPAP
  • Are not significantly overweight
  • Do not have complete concentric airway collapse

If you snore loudly, wake frequently gasping for air, or experience chronic fatigue despite using a CPAP device, you may benefit from an Inspire evaluation. At SPRING ENT, we guide you through eligibility testing to determine if Inspire is the right fit for you.

How We Treat Sleep Apnea with Inspire at SPRING ENT:

Dr. Paul Spring is a leader in advanced sleep apnea management and offers Inspire Therapy as part of his comprehensive sleep treatment program. The process begins with an in-depth evaluation, including a sleep study and airway assessment, to confirm candidacy for the procedure.

Inspire is implanted during a short outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day. The system includes a small generator placed under the skin of the chest and a sensor lead that monitors breathing. Each night, you activate the device with a handheld remote before going to sleep.

Our team ensures ongoing support, including post-op care and device calibration to optimize results. Most patients report immediate improvement in sleep quality and reduced daytime fatigue within a few weeks of activation.

With Inspire Therapy, SPRING ENT offers patients a minimally invasive, mask-free solution to regain control over their sleep and long-term health.
