Struggling with sleep apnea and looking for a solution? Most people assume that bulky CPAP machines are their only option, but at Surgery Center Cedar Rapids, we offer another choice – Inspire® Sleep Apnea Innovation.
Inspire is an FDA-approved sleep apnea treatment that targets the root cause of obstructive sleep apnea by working inside the body. It does not require the user to wear an uncomfortable face mask connected to a noisy air pump during sleep like a CPAP machine.
Inspire is an implanted system that stimulates the hypoglossal nerve, the motor nerve that controls the tongue, to keep the airway open. This innovative approach is convenient and comfortable for the patient, and leads to better compliance and outcomes. Patients who use Inspire report better quality of sleep, reduced daytime sleepiness, improved oxygen levels at night, and a better quality of life in comparison to CPAP use.
Inspire is placed under the skin of the neck and chest in a short, outpatient procedure at the Surgery Center Cedar Rapids. Shortly after the procedure, Inspire is turned on and you’ll be ready to get the sleep you’ve dreamed of.
In collaboration with Inspire certified physicians from Physician’s Clinic of Iowa, you will be evaluated to ensure Inspire Sleep Apnea Innovation will work for you. If you are a candidate for Inspire, we will get your procedure scheduled timely and conveniently at Surgery Center Cedar Rapids. Talk to your doctor today about your options, and let Surgery Center Cedar Rapids help you sleep better.
