Inspire is an exciting technological development for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea. This FDA-approved medical device can provide the relief you so badly need without struggling to deal with a bulky and uncomfortable CPAP machine.
At South Florida ENT Associates, we are committed to helping you achieve relief from sleep apnea. Inspire is the first and only FDA-approved implantable solution for sleep apnea, offering a safe and effective alternative to traditional treatments. Unlike CPAP machines, which require masks, hoses, and cumbersome equipment, Inspire addresses the root cause of sleep apnea with a compact, user-controlled device. Simply activate Inspire with a button before bed, allowing it to work naturally as you sleep. In the morning, turn it off just as easily and wake up feeling refreshed—without the hassle of bulky gear.
The Inspire device is placed just beneath the skin of the neck and chest through a brief outpatient procedure requiring only two small incisions—one under the chin and another near the collarbone. Designed for minimal scarring and a quick recovery, most patients can return to their daily routines within a few days. Once activated, Inspire begins working to restore restful sleep, providing a comfortable and effective alternative to traditional sleep apnea treatments.

In the morning, turn it off with the same button and start your day feeling refreshed. With Inspire, achieving restful sleep is as simple as the press of a button.
